28 November

 A foggy walk, from Cold East Cross, southwards to Buckland Beacon (383m) [N17], from where the views were non-existent! 

We were able to find the two 'Ten Commandments' stones, though.  To the standard 10 are added Jesus' new commandment from John 13v34, and these insightful verses, one on each of the stones:

Before the hills in order stood
or earth received her frame
from everlasting thou art God
to endless years the same.
 
But there's a power, which man can wield
when mortal aid is vain
that eye, that arm, that love to reach,
that listening ear to gain.
That power is prayer. 

Onward in search of Welstor Rock, but we couldn't find a path there through the gorse/fog.   The one thing we did see on the initial bit of path from the car park was loads of dog poo - which we haven't experienced anywhere else on the moor.  We found a different way back to the car!
