My Dartmoor Walks: Gren Tor

Perfect walking weather. From the Fox and Hounds and up to and along the usual track...

...to the points where the trucks would change direction.

On along the track and then up to Gren Tor - not often we come here - with Great Nodden below.

Upwards again to Hunt Tor and then across to...

...Great Links Tor

Looking back to Hunt Tor in the middle distance with Yes Tor on the left and High Willhays on the right - now which one is the highest?

Over to Dick's Well which apparently is this square hole in the ground. A small reservoir with a leat feeding in from the left.

On to Arms Tor...

...and around to the other side....

...before going down...

...to the ford.

A final view of Great Nodden.

To the Fox and Hounds for lunch which wasn't very busy but it seemed to take forever for our baguettes to arrive. Although, they were very good when they eventually did! If you want to know what's in the breakfast baguette - well it's breakfast - simple really.

With Tom, Jon, Keith and Terry

A foogy start. Parking at Sourton and following the track up over the cycle path...

...to the wall corner and the first tor in view East Tor (76)

Over to the track and up to the 'Points' where one of the many Ten Tors teams on the moor today were having a discussion about where they were.

Further along the track Gren Tor (77) came into view...

...as the fog started to lift to let the sunshine through.

Across to Great Links Tor - but not going there today.

On to Hunt Tor (78)

With Green Tor and Higher Dunna Goat in the distance.

And on to Green Tor (79) with Fur Tor in the distance...

...and the view across to Lower and Higher Dunnagoat.

Down to the remains of Bleak House - difficult to believe that people once lived here

Up to Lower Dunna Goat (80)...

....and just across to Higher Dunna Goat (81) looking back to the Lower DG.

Back across the Rattle brook..

...and up to Kitty Tor (82) - with the broken flagpole and range huts.

The view over to Lints Tor....

...and the view to Steng-a-Tor

Steng-a-Tor (83) - the immediate area all round this is very wet.

Dramatically sculptured by the wind.

Next along to Corn Ridge and Branscombe's Loaf (84) - very, very wet along here too.

The view down to Shelstone Tor

The hang gliders were out on the steep slope down to Shelstone Tor - trying to get a thermal to take them upto the clouds. Apparently one person got as far as Penzance from here once!
