Well, a late summer stroll couldn't ask for better weather, and it was great to see Kerry and Richard again. So the three of us set off up Diamond lane but veered to the top of a little-visited tor - can't remember the name and it's not named on the OS map!
Through the dying broken to cross the Three Barrows Reeve and we continued to the major track which forms part of the Two Moors Way. We followed this track passing Piles Hill and Glasscombe Ball until we reached the crossroads near Spurrell's Cross. Descending the hill we found a lovely spot for lunch, with far-reaching views to South Brent and beyond.
Finding our way through the gorse we contoured north to Glasscombe Corner, over West and East Glaze Brooks and up to Ball Gate. An easy descent took us back to the road and the car park.
A lovely 7-8 mile walk with great company, perfect walking weather, and of course, the beauty of creation to wow us!
