Poor weather forecast meant an early start over Bodmin Moor and Brown Willy. Rain started just as we reached the top. Met Colin. Wet descent to motorhome. Managed to drag ourselves out again for aLeer más
ViajeroCongrats on getting over Bodmin Moor - getting close to the Devon border. Fantastic progress. I love trig pillars, maybve something to do with me being a retired Land Surveyor. In the old days you had to drag heavy measurimg equipment (and batteries) up to the trigs. GPS has made them redundant now.
ViajeroI’m a Trig point lover. We walked 100 metres out of our way for this one. Not sure how many more we’ll see. I’ll keep a tally for you!
