Dried out in the pub and by 1400 the sun was

Hameldown Tor (529m) to the East overlooks Warren House Inn. I've run to
the summit many times from Bovey Castle when I have stayed there.


You must be super fit!

Unfortunately when I went to the pub there was a coach load of Norwegian
tourists there so there was barely even standing room.


Yes it's a lovely spot in summer. Sit outside the pub viewing the
Dartmoor panorama. The Hameldown ridge is a superb walk, done it many
times in all weathers.

I see the maximum in Plymouth was 9.7C today. Shows what a difference
