With heat building, I had to scramble to get my Number One Priority completed;
Wild Tor!!
Yes, at last I could get back up on t'Moor and go to my favourite tor. I defied blazing Sun and frisky wind and was in turn defied by about 9 tons of beef, but well, like the photo says....
:D
Wild Tor!
Despite it being a weekday in theoretical term time, I had a whole 20 mins of glorious isolation before hordes converged from all points of the compass, including one chap who wanted to chat.. Chat.... ::shudders::
[[What? Don't you know me by now?]]
[[And yes, I was the model of friendly helpfulness, thank you very much.]]
But let us wind back a bit...
Behold, a photo walk across t'Moor. With only the odd distraction for interesting lifeforms.. :)
First glimpse of Wild Tor!
On the way
Egghead Mottlegill
First fungus of the Autumn..!
White Moor Circle..
..and some of said beef!
They were there to stay, so I bid them happy steakness [what?] and left them to it.
O:)
Lizard!
Wheatear!!
One of the Hound Tors
Wild Tor!
Another Wheatear!
Lunch with a view;
The Wilhay to Steeperton Tor
Hangingstone Hill
Everyone and their mad runners having decided to go to Wild Tor, I curtailed lunch and extended my walk a bit..
The view from up there is very impressive but not so photoable. I do have a panorama mode on my camera, but it doesn't translate to blagger so well. Wander up and see it for yourself. [It's worth the climb. Honest]. Onward;
Spot the peat pass...!
"I'm not Edible!"
Common Frog
The path's obvious
[when you're on it...]
Cottongrass
Watern Tor
Looking through the Thurlestone
Adorable
Awwww
Looking off the edge
Castle Drogo.
Now freed from the world's largest tent
Redstart!!
:D
Great end to a great day.
Be Seeing You...
[["This whole world's wild at heart and weird on top", naturally.]]
