A perfect midsummer's evening lured us ‘moorwards’ - through Ashburton and up Auswell hill to Buckland in the moor. The views were magnificent, and as we waited by Buckland church the tower bell chimed the hour through the stillness. Spitchwick Common was well populated by a group of school children playing ball games, but their laughter merely added to the magical atmosphere that was to be found everywhere this evening. After a contented chat overlooking the river we headed homewards via Hembury woods.
