Distance - 6.5 Miles
Geocaches - 8
This is the first time I have had to check if the MOD are out playing army before completing a walk.
Everything came together - I am heading down to Tavistock to meet fast pint arm Bob and see a Kate Bush tribute act. Day booked off work, sun shining and no military manoeuvres to stop me from becoming the highest man in Devon.
Find an online route that looks just the ticket - starting off a car park next to Meldon Reservoir - complete with a proper old school dam.
GZ of Cache Number 1 of the Day |
If there are flags on them, you are not allowed in. There's also a sign saying that if you pick up any strange objects, there is a chance you will be blown up.
Going to put an edge on the Geocaching today.
Danger - High Explosives |
Approaching the highest Point in Devon and expected glorious views |
Yes Tor - Complete with its odd lightening conducter |
Another County Top ticked off |
View from High Willhays |
The West Okement River is the natural hand rail to lead me back to the reservoir and the car. Its a stunning river - full of boulders, waterfalls and pools.
River provides easy navigation |
Provides fine views of the Reservoir |
Back at the car and I have a missed call from Bob. He's waiting for me in the Pub in Tavistock. No time for a post walk pint but as expected, I make up for it with a few Jail Ales to the delightful refrains of a pseudo Kate Bush.
All round good day.
