Weather doesn't
get much better than this; a pleasantly warm air temperature, light breeze and
fabulous sky. Dartmoor looks like a picnic rug in this. It's all
deep blues and greens, not much yellow or brown in May and early June.
Wondrous. I've even kept my photographs in colour to prove the
point. (mostly)
So, up the Smeardown Down track and a quick glance back at the
green and pleasant land.
Then on to Setters Tor.
Another glance back along to Boulters Tor.
Finally a sunny stroll to the Langstone Menhir and Langstone Stone Circle.
These were both
used as target practice during the Second World War. The menhir has
bullet holes in it still and the stone circle (previously restored in the 19th
century) has been shattered; bits of standing stones lie around broken stumps.
Heartbreaking.
