First Roborough Rock (249) - about a mile and half away from home and next to the main Tavistock - Plymouth road.
Then on to Shaugh Prior to find Shaugh Beacon (250). Charlie and I couldn't find this on 3rd July - mainly because the grid reference was about 400 metres out and we couldn't see it in the fog! Here it is clearly visible on the sky line from Beatland Corner.
Getting to it was more difficult - if there are any paths then they are completely overgrown with ferns.
The view from the top out over Plymouth to Plymouth Sound.
Getting out was even harder with head high ferns!
Next to Callisham Tor (251) This is just off a footpath between the Yelverton/Cadover road and Meavy.
My plan had been to drive on to Dartmeet and then follow the East Dart upstream to Blackator (253). In the event I decided to go there directly from Huckaby Tor. This is it right next to the East Dart. It doesn't look like a tor from a distance....
...because it is completely overgrown. The tor is on the river side.
From the top looking down at the East Dart River.
A wall has been built all across the top of it - presumably to stop and livestock falling off the edge.
