Mustard Seed Walk - Pupers Hill




 A great day out with ten of us marching out from Shipley Bridge in the Autumn sunshine, destination Pupers Hill.  After a short stroll up the drive, stopping for a look at Brentmoor House ruins, we went wild and headed through the old Bracken to Dockwell Ridge. Picking up the track around Gripper’s Hill, we soon had Pupers Hill in sight. As we ascended, so the sky clouded over and it got a mite chilly. The rocks at Pupers gave so protection from the wind for lunch before we descended to Huntingdon Cross and back along the Abbots Way the the Avon Dam, from whence it was a gravity assisted stroll back to Shipley Bridge. A great walk in lovely company and magnificent Autumn colours that only an artist after the Creators own skill could achieve!

MUSTARD SEED WALK - 8th October 2022 - Dr Blackall's Drive



 Our Mustard Seed Walks group took advantage of the fine autumnal weather to enjoy a seven mile walk down Dr Blackall's Drive and down the the River Dart.  What goes down must come up unfortunately and the second half of our walk was spent regaining the height we had lost in the first half - a fine example of the exchange of energy: potential, kinetic, thermal, chemical etc.  But what a lovely walk in God's beautiful creation with excellent company.
