Hookney Tor Tuesday 10th March

A solo walk today starting from the Warren House Inn.  A short walk along the side of the road to Bennets Cross.

I followed the easier track up to Birch Tor when a low flying Naval helecopter went past.

On to Birch Tor with this fine few across the moor - the Warren House Inn is on the right.

Looking towards Challacombe Hill

I cut back across to the Two Moors Way and headed over to Hookney Down and then a short walk up to.....

Hookney Tor

Across Dartmoor with heavily gouged out girts where men worked hard to extract tin.

 Just below is the Bronze Age settlement of Grimspound.

From here up the valley to the  memorial which commemorates the loss of Hampden X3054 which crashed on 22nd March 1941.

A short walk back up the other side of the valley to Hameldown Tor.

Down and through Grimspound

Around Headland Warren Farm and...
