Overview

A walk up Ger Tor and up to the top of Hare Tor before heading to White Hill then to Willsworthy Bridge via the Rifle Ranges. In good weather there will be fabulous views from the tors, particularly looking down to Tavy Cleave.
Uphill up the tors and mostly along tracks and paths. A few stiles. Bit wet and rocky underfoot alongside Willsworthy Brook. Boggy patch going up Ger Tor but otherwise pretty dry on recce. Bring a drink for our coffee stop. Possibility of refreshment at pub afterwards.
To join this walk please text the walk leader. Please do not email.
