A different walk today as we had just a short time window between rain showers and things going on at home. We parked near Lee Moor, just beyond Whitehill Tor, where there's a P on the OS map. There are three tors within the bounds of the China Clay works - not technically part of the moor, but still listed in Ken Ringwood's book.
We found two - Blackalder Tor (234m), which sits on the side of a ridge forming part of the edge of a clay pit. Then close to the car on the way back was Whitehill Tor (210m).
Both give views of the china clay works, and also the tungsten mine. Most of what can be seen here is solar panels, but there are plans to reopen to mine for tungsten in 2021. It made a different kind of walk, but good to get some fresh air in between the showers October has provided!
I'm really grateful to the churches of Saltash Methodist Circuit for their generosity towards my three charities this year - especially Christians Against Poverty. I've hit my targets (once offline donations are included) for them and the Mbare-Saltash Partnership. Just two more months to go, so it will be Shekinah in the spotlight from herein!
