Tuesday 18th October - Dartmeet

We started from Dartmeet taking the steeper route up to the top of Yar Tor. A fresh clear morning with a very autumnal feel to it.


On Yar Tor looking to Hamel Down....

...towards Bellever

Down past the stone row and up to the memorial to Lieutenant Penny aged 19 who died in Palestine in 1918 'whilst commanding his men'.

On to Corndon Tor - looking south to Sharp Tor....

...east to Ripon Tor

A shower over Fernworthy forest.

...towards Buckland Beacon

Along the ridge to Cathanger Rock, a small tor not marked on the os map.



Down to Sherwell

Over the little clapper bridge to follow the East Dart back to Dartmeet.

BBC Spotlight were at Dartmeet where there were doing an item on BT's decision to remove many of the phone boxes from Dartmoor. They asked for an interview - Jane and Charlie volunteered. It was broadcast during the evening programme and very well they both did too.
 
Lunch was at Badgers Holt - a place which most of us haven't been too for a long time! With Brenda, Jane, Charlie, Peter and Tom
