Monday 8th April the pack of Hounds along with one new Harriet, set off into the cold swirling mist towards Hound Tor Rocks, following Poachers “one mark and on” trail. Suddenly there was an awful howling noise sounding from somewhere nearby!...was this the beast of Dartmoor?.. No, just the horn of “ TEAPOT” Back with us at last from his near demise. After several LS splits we arrived at the sweet stop near Great Tor rocks, then “on-on” again around the Tor’s twisting and turning across the almost lifeless Moorland still in the grip of winter. At the OD in the Kestor Inn Manaton a good wood burning stove warmed us, along with the beer and very good food. Teapot took charge and among several DD recipients was MOULDY DICK ! who was recorded running past “FOREST” like an athlete! Many thanks to Poacher for a great trail On On.
