Good to here you got around Cornwall a little bit. Bodmin moor is not huge but it is a really nice place to walk. Did you get to the Jamaica Inn near Brown Willy, it's one of my favourite little training jaunts up and back for Brunch. Oftenl mizzly but still fun.
Still good for a 6 or so mile circular, we started from a very attractive parking spot at Bowithick by an old pack horse bridge. Had only intended to stretch legs but were led deeper into the moor by the curious diggings and then saw the Brown Willy ridge at about a mile away, livestock tracks showed us the way through the bog and the infant Fowey was just a standing long jump for a septuagenarian, Mrs BWW flew over. The going got a bit difficult when we got to the boundary fence as no L-stock on the Brown Willy side. Lack of tenant.
Set up a Short Eared Owl amongst the gorse before we reached the trod to the top.
Chatted to guy on by the trig, who is organising large school walk up there, he seemed to have walk in from the Jamaica Inn direction. One of his routes onto the moor seems to have been terminated by the landowners vandalism, which results from the Sarah Slade / Country Landowners creed of stopping de-facto access for fear of it becoming RoW.
Made the walk into a circular by skirting around the top of the Source of the Fowey to the Watershed and a very attractive defile north of Buttern Hill, where the embankment of a leat makes an interesting parapet walk following the contour back to an easy descent to the track we originally started out on.
Yes, I did visit Jamaica Inn, my last memory was from the 1950's, when my mother took me on holiday to Port Isaac, I think, the sign still creeked then as described by Daphne du Maurier, but it is very different today.
