Walk with the Youell party

I was lucky enough to lead a walk from Prince Hall on Saturday in ferocious heat with a lovely group celebrating Tessa Youell's birthday at the hotel.  Here are some photos from the walk, which began at Prince Hall and ended in the Plume Of Feathers at Princetown, traversing the desert-like moorland of Crock Of Gold and Tor Royal along the way.  The shade and cold drinks at the pub were most welcome afterwards.  Many thanks to Tessa and family for being such good company.
