A glorious sunny days greeted six of us who met at Bennett's Cross for a high level walk to Heathercombe. After taking the views at Birch Tor we joined the Two Moors Way, then Hockney Tor, before branching off to climb to King Tor. The convex slope, which always makes navigation tricky with the absence of paths, tested me until we found the gate through a copse of Rowan trees. It was a steep walk down to the village but a pleasant walk along Mariner's Way to Natsworthy Gate, a great spot for lunch in the sunshine. A visit to the Hamden Bomber memorial and then to Grimspound provided a gentle stroll with just a few ups and downs! Our last leg took us through Vitifer mines, apparently the most productive of the tin mines on Dartmoor. All in all, a lovely day with superb company in this beautiful world that God created for us to enjoy.
