Friday 5th September Two Bridges

A misty hazy morning as I drove over to Dartmeet to meet fellow blipper Simon, his wife Mo and friend Jenny. Whilst driving over Lower Cherry Brook bridge I spotted the ponies by the river - just had to turn round and go back to and take a photo.

A coffee first whilst we decided where to walk. Simon has been visiting Dartmoor regularly for 35 years (much longer than me!) and we decided to walk on a part of the moor that he is not to familiar with.   It was agreed we would  start from Two Bridges.

Firstly up to Crockern Tor.

On to Littaford Tor where there was another group of ponies.

Around the edge of Longaford Tor before....

...going up to the top of Longaford Tor - Beardown Tors in the distance...

...the view back along the ridge line but masses of flying ants meant we couldn't stop to enjoy the view!

On to Higher White Tor with this view towards Fernworthy Forest.

Next down to the weir on the West Dart River - Wistman's Wood in the distance.

 The view down stream from the weir - Longaford Tor in the distance....

...and the view upstream.

 Simon gets in position to take his shot.

Then the short sharp steep bit up to Beardown Tors....

....and the walk back to Beardown Farm.  A splendid walk when a virtual friend became a real friend!
