Firstly we headed off to the multiple stone circles. Sheeps Tor in the distance.
Next it was decided we would wander across to find Roughtor in the Roughtor Plantation.
Roughtor is spread out over a wide area with lots of outlying granite rocks. Trees have been planted all over it so it is in possible to see the whole of the tor in context.
We came out by this naturally formed 'crevasse' a steep and deep hole in the ground where the underlying granite has moved apart. I've not seen anything like this before on Dartmoor. Not a place to fall into!
Within the woods this ramp had been built some time ago for cycling over!
As we headed across to the settlement at Whittenknowles Rocks it started to rain and then it came down in abundance.
Heading back to the start.
An excellent lunch, as always in the Royal Oak at Meavy. With Jane, Gill, Anne, Terry, Brenda, Jon, Charlie and Tom
