Snow on Dartmoor today albeit briefly.  Unfortunately, I was walking on Aylesbeare and Woodbury Commons on the other side of the Exe estuary looking for Dartford Warblers at the time.

Yes looked good driving to work this morning.  If there is still decent coverage on the tops tommorow , then I plan to miss my usual afternoon indoor climbing and head up Yes tor from Meldon. May melt away tommorow morning though.

Ironically I will be passing Yes Tor tomorrow morning on my way to Cornwall for the day. Shame I have no time for a detour.

Visiting family currently posted to Cornwall and collect new car.  May be doing seaside walking next week though as we are baby sitting near Newquay.

Did you find any? I've been lucky to have had some excellent sightings of them in past years.
So many paths yet to walk, so little time left

  Afraid not but I think we heard one.  There were some optimistic birdwatchers about looking for them.  I don't think hiking and warbler spotting go together too well as one requires walking and the other benefits from a lot of standing.

I have never been much good at standing still.  Certainly not on Dartmoor today.  Driving sleet and hail.  Boy oh boy that felt cold.  Didn't walk far in that.  I did build a wee snow man though. :)

It looked there had been a fresh fall overnight but it looked like was melting fast this morning.  The snow line was high enough to park on the moor under Rowtor.

Yes, the only snow was up above 500m and that was melting by afternoon.  Cold and wet, you did well to pass on by.  I just couldn't resist one last walk in the snow this season. ;)

I'll be volunteering for a Peak District race-event over the weekend 'PB57' starting from Middleton Top and finishing at Hayfield, hopefully managing to get a few miles walking done with the DSLR camera along a few of the trails and ways connecting the race.

Lovely little walk from home, with Mrs G.  Down the Latchbroke Leat to Forder Lake. Then we followed the river Lynher around the foreshore at low tide to Wearde Quay. Never walked that foreshore so far, in all these years.  Realy enjoyed it.

Are you camping along the way?, if so, give High Sands Creek a look in Stiffkey. It's Stewky to the locals.
