Saturday 8th September Nine Tors to Finish

Starting from Belstone for another long walk.  Down to the East Okement River...

...and up the other side with a view across to Belstone Tors.

On to  Ottery Tor (299) - with Steeperton Tor in the distance.

The view back to Belstone.

Then across some difficult ground to the top of Cosdon Hill (300) and...

...to the East of Dartmoor and the spectacular temperature inversions - with the mists bubbling out of the tops of the valleys.

Along the ridge line to Little Hound Tor (301) - not so much of a tor as a few rocks on the surface.

Nearby is the White Moor Stone Circle.

The ridge ahead of us - Hound Tor, Wild Tor and Hangingstone Hill.

Hound Tor (302)

Wild Tor (303)

Then east to Watern Tor (304)

The very weathered granite stacks of Watern Tor.

Further east again to Magna Rock (305) - shaped like a giant Jelly Bean.  A stop here for lunch overlooking the North Teign River.

Then a bit of a slog around to get to the top of Hangingstone Hill (306) with the range hut next to it.

Down towards the final tor - Steeperton Tor...

...and then up again to the top.

Steeperton Tor (307) and that's it!!!

Terry produced a small bottle of bubly to celebrate!

Looking back to Steeperton Tor.

A walk of thirteen and half miles and  lasting seven and half hours - with thanks to Terry again for making it just that bit easier - just by being there.
