Bendibus Hill Cross I took <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/468663">SX3899 : Bendibus Hill Cross</a> on a miserable summer day nearly nine years ago; here it is on a lovely day with winter just turning into spring. I didn't notice before that the name on the signpost is just "Bendibus Cross"; maps disagree with each other. Bendibus Hill is the lane opposite which drops to cross a tributary of the Claw. The name "bendibus" is used also for a wood to the northwest, and was obviously created by a precognitive clairvoyant whose only mistake was to assume that the articulated bus would find its way to this remote area of Devon rather than its usual urban environment.

Field at East Down Evidence of recent activity in this field - probably the removal of the hay crop before the rain could damage it. Behind the hedge is a field access track leading towards Langaford Moor. Taken from a gateway on the lane from Sandynoor Cross to Halwill.
