Morning of catching up with stuff followed by an afternoon of climbing and complaining about our respectives jobs. On the way home we stopped off on Brent Tor:
The weather was so beautiful it was a real privilege to be up there.
And the views looking out over the moor were truly spectacular — it's hard to imagine a more spectacular final resting place:
We weren't alone up there: the car pack was busy with people attending the Michaelmas service up at St Michael's on the top of the tor; and on the way back we saw a couple of people setting up tripod mounts, presumably in preparation for tonight's supermoon.
We stopped for supper at the Castle Inn in Lydford before contining on home accompanied by the strangest selection of songs from E's iPod Shuffle: only the God of Random Bits knows quite why it chose to juxtapose White Christmas with Dragonforce's The Last Journey Home — music that only works when it's late at night, you're driving back home, you've got the volume cranked to 11, and only power metal will get you through...
ETA: worth noting that, once again, all photos come courtesy of my trusty Nokia C5. I'm beginning to think I really ought to get a point-and-click camera — or, more sensibly, a decent smartphone — to do proper justice to the situations I find myself in...
