Back at home after a week in The Lakes and back on Dartmoor soil. Have to say since being back I’ve had the post holiday blues, not really wanting to do too much. The weather has been fine, the nights are drawing out and all is set for outside things. I set myself a simple Good Friday walk, not too far, somewhere I knew I wanted to go back to and in decent weather. This ticked the bill, the good part was the crowds weren’t out, despite only starting at midday. This is a good area for families, not too far from Dartmeet for refreshments or New Bridge for ice cream and it provides a good alternate to the crowded Haytor on bank holidays. I have to say spring is here in the south west of England, the gorse is out in flower, with the honey scent carried on the breeze, the skylarks are in full voice and I even saw a stoat near to Cave Penney memorial, although it was far too quick for my camera.
