Guiness enjoyment rating 7
Hestitated before putting this blog entry 'out there' - would not recommend this particular route to anyone. I only went this way to find 4 x geocaches(new hobby, blame Phil) so there was a bit of scrambling through the bracken involved. Started at the southern end of Burrator Reservoir and climbs to Sheeps Tor.
The view form atop the tor looking back over Reservoir is stunning.
From here I headed through the Roughtor plantation along the Narrator Brook to emerge south of Combshead Tor where there is a lovely view looking back...
I then headed in a north easterly direction (so said the compass) to find a cache and then westerly along a stone row toward Down Tor
The best route back from Down Tor would be simply to continue east and back to the reservoir but I headed south to find my final cache of the day and then I got a bit lost and waded through unexpected bracken and was a bit glad to reappear near Nosworthy Bridge. A pleasant amble next to the reservoir found us back at the car...
