We got adventurous today...Pirate did something for the first time in 84 years...and I did for the first time in 50 years..so I should have known better!!
We walked up the footpath towards the South and steeper side of the Tor
which leads across fields...and meets a road where there is no waymarker!
We went left and in a quarter mile found the two disabled parking bays at the foot of the climb. I had looked for these unsuccessfully on websites and maps..
I hadn't ever been up this side....I can't say I felt too happy..not being that keen on ups with steep downs and no handrail and just a narrow concrete path.....
At the top we were almost in the clouds...and it was definitely Hang onto your hat!!!
Down the slightly less steep path that comes out by the Chalice Well Gardens..and if we had parked in the blue badge bays we would have had to walk back up that lane to there!
An achievement...nearly five miles walking..a good start to getting fit again!!
