Cosdon Circumnavigation

Picture
circumnavigation of Cosdon Hill this afternoon following the bridleway that runs from South Zeal round the North end of the hill following a disused leat then south to white Hill and Little Hound Tor, then North to the Stone Row, and contouring round to the Bridelway again for heading back down to the road.
Nice idea, in reality it was a boggy, rainy, windy hell!
By the time I had climbed 200m of ascent and battled into the wind and rain i sacked going down white Hill and up to Little Hound Tor and headed for the top of Cosdon Hill instead.
With no path to follow this was NOT one of my best ideas! but as soon as I got above the gorseline the going improved and I managed to hit the beacon dead on.
Quick photo break, the view above has Belstone, Okehampton Army camp, West Mill Tor, Yes Tor, Sourton Tor and Billy! Not a bad view for such a shitty day.
The run back was blissful by comparison, down hill and wind assissted and back to the truck before the heavans opened.
Distance: 10km
Ascent: 320m
