Sunday 11th March High Dartmoor and Eleven Tors

 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!


The logan stone on Shelstone Tor (85)
 

Sourton Tors (86) were the final tors for the day...

 ...looking down to Sourton...

 ...and across to Meldon Reservoir

A final look back to the hang gliders - looks like a thermal of sorts had arrived.

Friday 9th December Lane End

Another cold day and wintery showers.

Just after leaving the car and walking towards Ger Tor a rainbow!

From Hare Tor                                        ... across to Fur Tor with the range huts on Amicombe Hill


 ...looking back to Ger Tor

....across to Sharp Tor and Great Links Tor

 ...Doe Tor (extreme left) with Brat Tor and Arms Tor in the distance

....Fur Tor

From Hare Tor with Sharp Tor on the left with Great Links just behind and you can just see the tops of Higher and Lower Dunna Goat and the track leading to Chat Tor towards the right.


On to Sharp Tor
