Good Start to the Holiday.

With our late Autumn break chosen and paid for, the weather decided to test our resolve - should we go or should we stay? We are going to The West Country! Having paid up front it was no contest really.

Our first stop was Dartmoor so that I could re-acquaint myself with the granite stack known as Bowerman's Nose. Anyone who knows me will realise why that particular stack.

I was bitterly disappointed when we arrived there. Firstly my memory had told me that it was situated just a few yards from the edge of the road, whereas in reality it looked about half a mile away. Secondly the threatened storm was just about to unleash itself so I only had a few minutes to make the most of it. Thirdly, V was completely unimpressed and I'll never be able to persuade her to return when conditions are more clement.
