After a spell of sub-zero weather, the day of our walk was much more in line with what we would expect for a moorland day in January; cold, windy and threatening rain.
So 13 of us arrived at Venford Reservoir car park, raring to go!
The planned route was amended slightly as I hadn't had time to recce the part of the route that was new to me, and it looked decidedly gorsey! Now bracken and heather can be weathered through, but gorse forms an impenatrable barrier - so wisdom won the day!
There was plenty to see, and the threatened rain held off, so all was well and a lovely day was had by all, plus two dogs.
