A Day out to Haytor, near Bovey Tracey, and Torquay Resevoirs, near Bridford.

The weather was not very kind to us today. Overcast, and as the day went on, the rain came down relentlessly. The weather had no regards what so ever for our day out!
Our first stop today was to Newton Abbot, for a bit of shopping! I found the craft shop to be very interesting. What a lot of stock they have in the Hobby Craft store!



The shopping didn't take long - and so off to Bovey Tracey and  to Haytor, near Manaton.  When we first arrived there, it was dry and ideal for a walk up to the Tor. There were many dog walkers, and Charlie loved it!

                               
          Haytor  -  near to Manaton, Widdecombe and Bovey Tracey.

Lovely views on a clear day - but not for us today! We just returned back to the car for our picnic, and the Heavens opened. It poured down! 
 So - next stop was to Hennock / Torquay Resevoirs.

We parked by the fisherman's  permit hut. There were warning posters there informing people that there had been numerous break- ins to parked cars recently. Be warned if you plan a visit!

I hoped that the rhododendron's would be flowering - but no. Perhaps a week to early. I intend to visit again next week on a sunny day. I love the reflection of the flowers in the water. Makes a very good photo!

Tottiford  Reservoir is almost empty. Construction work in progress!

Final stop to Sylvia and Peters bungalow in Bridford.

What a well kept garden. Lovely to see!

Have a good day.
