A proper Dartmoor walk from Postbridge. Out through Braddon Lake and on to Row Tor. There was some difference of opinion as to exactly where the Row Tor is. There are a number of granite outcrops over a fairly wide area and Row Tor covers the whole area which was under discussion. It is also know as Braddon Tor and Hoax Tor. Then on to Brown's House. The route out was not as boggy as expected but there is a tricky stream to cross which is a little bit of a mire. The real boggy bit is on the way back to Lower White Tor. This is not a place for the inexperienced walker in difficult weather conditions. Into the bottom of Hollowcombe Bottom to then to follow the wall around the edge of Archerton bog returning through Archerton and back to Postbridge. Lunch in the Prince of Wales with Terry, Mike, Jon, Jane, Charlie and Brenda.
The iconic gate to the moor at the end of the track from Postbridge.

From the same spot looking back to Postbridge
On the highest part of Row Tor with Rough Tor in the far distance.
Across to Lower White Tor and Higher White Tor. We set off to Brown's House.
Arriving at Brown's House.
Lower White Tor looking back to Brown's House - the track is much more clearly identified than when I was last there.
From Lower looking across to Broad Down - a threatening sky but only a few drops of rain.
The Carin and Cist near the stream which exits the Archerton bog.
