Today I am running a little Blonde Bimble. I say little because there will only be three of us, but, like all good Bimbles, it will include Dartmoor, a map and compass and a visit to Fox Tor Cafe.
I have an idea of where I want to take these lovely Bimblers and I have an unusual reason for wanting to go there with them. It isn’t because it is my very favourite Dartmoor spot (although it is one of them), it isn’t because the views are amazing (although they are), no, I want to take these particularly people to this particular place because they share its name.
Now this could turn into a most excellent theme for Bimbles of the future. I could take Mr Dinger to Dinger Tor and Mrs Pew to Pew Tor. I could take His Majesty to Kings Tor and Beelzebub to Devil’s Tor. I could take Foxy Loxy to Fox Tor and Shaun to Sheeps Tor. I would resist, however, visiting Great Mis Tor as the company would be bound to be dour, or Brat Tor as I only countenance well behaved young people. High Willhayes though, well, that might be worth a trip!
Can you guess where we are going?
Well, it seems a bit obvious but it must be Little Mis Tor. Afterwards, bursting with self satisfaction you could go to Crow Tor.
I know that Blonde Two is not spending the day with Little Miss Blonde, as I’m having an exciting lunch with her today (blog post to follow). Good guess though. The Two Blondes should take you to Chat Tor (sounds very similar to ‘hat’).
My initials are PEW so I’ve got to get to Pew Tor sometime. Is it called so because a nearby rock formation looks like church seats I wonder?
I recommend a trip to Pew Tor. Wouldn’t it be good if you lived at Pew Tor Cottage? (Although you might have me camping in your back garden; I’ve always loved this cottage!)
I know where you’re going and I know exactly who with! (Unfortunately it’s not me.) Enjoy your day with J and T! X
Let’s make sure that it is with you soon B1! Maybe we should finally visit Blonde Tor! Have a lovely lunch with LMB. X
Cox tor???
What a most excellent guess!
Is there a “Nottacloo Tor?”
Not sure but there is a Hound Tor which your woofer would enjoy!
So there is! I’ve been there – must remember to mark it off in my brand new Dartmoor 365 book! Tell me, is it Chat Tor as in Natter, or Chat Tor as in Le Chat? In which case, that is probably where His Nibs would like to go! (For le chase.)
Definitely Chat Tor as in natter, no cat would venture out that far. However, we do have a Kitty Tor which would suit those of feline persuasion!
