Synopsis: A quick dash along a frosty Lustleigh Cleave.
This was a relatively short walk, but just long enough to give me some fresh air, and demanding enough for me to feel exercised afterwards. It’s a familiar walk along Lustleigh Cleave and the banks of the River Bovey. The weather was cold and crisp but the sun shone which made this, my first walk of the new year, very pleasant.
Hunters TorThere are splendid views from Hunter’s Tor out towards Haytor on Dartmoor. I hadn’t realised at the time but Helen and Laura were probably on Haytor as I looked out upon it, as their cousin Christopher had taken them out for the day in his ‘flash sports car’. These were Laura’s words. Ok, it does look a little more flash than mine, but then, most cars do.
Brightly coloured fungus
This brightly coloured fungus was growing on the side of a tree. At least, that’s what I presume this is. I’ve not seen anything quite like it before.
