title A Wander Around Hoo Meavy and Burrator, Dartmoor, Devon - 18th December 2005 intro It's the day after the Plymouth Polytechnic Alumni Reunion, and Nosher briefly stops off at Mother's gaff on the edge of Dartmoor. There's time for a bit of lunch at the old Chapel - still complete with its own graveyard - and a walk around nearby Burrator Resevoir, an oft-frequented haunt for the last 20 years, before the weather gently degrades into drizzle in a true Dartmoor style. After that, it's off on the 360-mile drive back to Suffolk. imgp5349 Mother and Mike in the kitchen at The Chapel imgp5350 Mother's in the fridge imgp5352 Mother potters around imgp5353 Mike prepares something for lunch imgp5355 The graveyard in the garden imgp5356 Gravestones in the garden imgp5358 Looking down the hill from the top of the graveyard imgp5359 A cross in the ground imgp5360 The favourite gravestone: Peace, Perfect Peace imgp5361 Broken stonework on a grave imgp5364 The Chapel, and Hoo Meavy imgp5367 The wintry garden imgp5368 Alabaster statue imgp5370 Another view of the chapel and its garden imgp5371 Mother sets up lunch imgp5372 Time for lunch imgp5373 Raffles, the timid Italian Spinoni, appears imgp5379 Raffles begs for treats imgp5381 Mike and Mother imgp5382 Raffles lurks imgp5688 A Dartmoor pony on the roadside near Clearbrook imgp5689 Another pony - photography like a tourist imgp5691 A stone-lined old aquaduct imgp5692 A view of Clearbrook imgp5695 On the dam at Burrator Resevoir imgp5696 The ice-cream van is there, whatever the weather imgp5697 A sluice valve imgp5702 Some water control valves imgp5704 Mike and Mother on the dam bridge imgp5706 Mike's on a style imgp5707 Mike roams around imgp5708 Burrator Dam imgp5711 Mother looks about imgp5712 A pile of mossy rocks imgp5719 Walking by the edge of the resevoir imgp5720 Burrator resevoir imgp5722 Some more derelict infrastructure imgp5723 Mother waves imgp5727 Mother in the pine trees imgp5730 Mike stands on a wall imgp5731 Mother and Mike look out imgp5736 Secret Nuclear Bunker (possibly) imgp5743 A misty Burrator Resevoir imgp5745 The optimistic ice-cream van braves the weather imgp5752 Raffles chomps on a blanket
