We took the military road up towards Rowtor.
Rowtor, West Mill Tor and Yes Tor.
On Rowtor looking east across to Higher Tor, Belston Tor and Cosden Hill in the distance...
..then south east to Oke Tor and Steeperton Tor..
..towards East Mill Tor...
..south west to West Mill Tor
From here we went down to the old military firing range with the firing butts
The bullet-scarred solid metal target
Just behind this is the old railway track used for moving the target along the firing range.
From here we took the track around West Mill Tor up to...
..Yes Tor
On Yes Tor with superb views
..north east to West Mill Tor, Belstone Tor and Cosden Hill... 
...west to Branscomb's Loaf, Sourton Ridge and Shelstone Tor...
....due south to High Willhayes
Then a short walk along the ridge to the highest point on Dartmoor - High Willhayes. From here we could see the sea to the south at Rame Head and to the north at Bideford Bay - a reminder that we live on a narrow penninsula.
Looking north to Yes Tor...
..south towards Great Mis Tor and Staple Tor
Then across to Dinger Tor for our lunch. There was no cream tea or giant waiting.
Across to Lints Tor with Amicombe Hill in the background
From here we took the track across to the Eas Mill Tor.
Looking across to High Willhayes on the left and Yes Tor on the right. Yes Tor always looks higher than High Willhayes but it is in fact 2 metres lower. 
East Mill Tor
Then down to the track again
Walking today Charlie, Harry, Terry and Rosemary
And still no mushrooms!
