A day off from work and a good chance to get out and about. Starting from the car park near the Two Bridges hotel we headed for Beardown Tor and Lydford Tor following part of the Devonport leat. However looping back via Cowsic Bridge brought with it some issues with very boggy ground, between us and the bridge over the Cowsic, luckily we made it across and up to Holming Beam before walking back to Two Bridges
