Monday 25th November Blackey Tor

And so back to Dartmoor.  A dull morning but the sky cleared after lunch leaving me with time for a walk from Princetown.  I parked on the edge of the village and followed the wall out to...

...this boundary stone - I couldn't make out the markings.

Across to the track and on to South Hessary Tor...

...continuing along the track to Peat Cott.

A fine view of Fox Tor Mires - now you wouldn't want to go through there would you!

Down past the old little chapel and over to the Strane River - which at this point is more of a stream.

Next to it are these small blocks of granite which are known as Strane Tor.

From here I headed over Royal Hill and down to Blackey Tor.  Not many people will come here because there is no obvious route. By now the sun was getting lower and the colours were changing.

Back past the farm know as Tor Royal as the sun got even lower.

Couldn't resist a final photo with sun just before sunset.

Wednesday 12th June Princetown

Another winter day walk just ten days before midsummer day!

Wet and cold at Princetown.

Four of us headed out to Hart Tor by an indirect route and then down to the River Meavy.

Up to Black Tor and then...

...down to the aqueduct.

Up the hill to Cramber Tor for a refreshing drink and then over...

...to the track which runs past South Hessary Tor.

And back to Princetown. Yes we enjoyed it, we discussed and sorted out a number of relevant issues and felt invigorated. 

An excellent lunch in the Prince of Wales.  With Keith, Pete and Anne.
