From Plyouth where I was staying I drove to the Roughtor car park via the top of Kit Hill near Callington so brown Willy would be my second Marilyn of the day. It was a nice day. It was New Year's Day. The car park was pretty full. There is a memorial here to Charlotte Dymond who was murdered here in 1844 most likkely by her boyfriend Matthew Weeks who was convicted and hung for the crime. Brown WIlly is not very far from the car park but inconveniently there us another hill, Rough Tor, in the way that must either be circumambulated or transabulated. I like the look of the latter more. A good path led me to the top with its surreal furniture of shapely tors Another took me easily down the other side and easily up to the top of Brown WIlly. There was talk oce of changing the name to something less provocative of schoolboy humour but the locals weren't having it and it stuck. Apparently it is a corruption of Bronn Wennili which means Hill of Swallows. I returned eassily over the top of Showery Tor, the lowest of the lumps comprising the Rough Tor ridge.
