Thursday 26th March King Tor

A phone call from Tom and a walk at short notice - impossible not to go!  By the time I had got to the car park Tom and Andy had already started.

The usual route- up to Leedon Tor...

...down to the railway track

Criptor Farm below us and Criptor in the field next to it.

Very dull at first, with a strong head wind but brightening up on route. A derelict building next to the railway line.

Then across to the unsued London Bridge corbels and a photo opportunity for Andy who is relatively new to Dartmoor.

Over to King Tor for a coffee break by this little tree. It was good to get  out of the strong wind. Yellowmeade Farm is in the distance.

Next across to Foggintor quarry.

Then to return along the railway track.  Looking across to Vixen Tor, Cox Tor and Staple Tor.

Followed by an excellent lunch in the Devon Tors
