Mother and Mike in the kitchen at The Chapel
A Wander Around Hoo Meavy and Burrator, Dartmoor, Devon - 18th December 2005
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.

Mother's in the fridge
Mother potters around
Mike prepares something for lunch
The graveyard in the garden
Gravestones in the garden
Looking down the hill from the top of the graveyard
A cross in the ground
The favourite gravestone: Peace, Perfect Peace
Broken stonework on a grave
The Chapel, and Hoo Meavy
The wintry garden
Alabaster statue
Another view of the chapel and its garden
Mother sets up lunch
Time for lunch
Raffles, the timid Italian Spinoni, appears
Raffles begs for treats
Mike and Mother
Raffles lurks
A Dartmoor pony on the roadside near Clearbrook
Another pony - photography like a tourist
A stone-lined old aquaduct
A view of Clearbrook
On the dam at Burrator Resevoir
The ice-cream van is there, whatever the weather
A sluice valve
Some water control valves
Mike and Mother on the dam bridge
Mike's on a style
Mike roams around
Burrator Dam
Mother looks about
A pile of mossy rocks
Walking by the edge of the resevoir
Burrator resevoir
Some more derelict infrastructure
Mother waves
Mother in the pine trees
Mike stands on a wall
Mother and Mike look out
Secret Nuclear Bunker (possibly)
A misty Burrator Resevoir
The optimistic ice-cream van braves the weather
Raffles chomps on a blanket
