Lovely feel to this one. Just as it is. Such a fine place to walk. thelonious Posted by thelonious

Thanks :)
I really liked Brown Willy, I don't really get the sniffiness about it not being as good as Rough Tor. The two hills are quite different but both great.

You're right about the two being different. Both have their own character and feel. A visit to both make for a fine day out. thelonious Posted by thelonious

It does. Long walk from Camelford though, especially with three stone circles to fit in as well. thesweetcheat Posted by thesweetcheat

I did wonder how you got there without driving. Top effort. thelonious Posted by thelonious

I had to get a coach from St Ives to Wadebridge, then a bus to Camelford. Considering the busiest road in Cornwall crosses the moor, it's ridiculously inaccessible by public transport. thesweetcheat Posted by thesweetcheat

I'm always impressed at the places you get to via public transport. You should write 'a guide to visiting Britain's past without a car'. It must take some planning, maybe that's half the fun? thelonious Posted by thelonious

Ha! I think my contributions to TMA are as close as I'll ever get to that!

It's more necessity than fun, although sometimes it actually makes things easier as you don't always have to get back to start point. It does make some places very unlikely though, especially in the highlands.
