Dartmoor: Solving the Hare Tor and Clay Tor Conundrums

Clay Tor (Hemery)

I've been holding off writing this blog post for a while now because it involves two Dartmoor conundrums, both involving author William Crossing, which need to be explained fully for the reader to grasp what we're discussing here, so I'll try my best but at times if you fall asleep or get a headache, don't feel bad as I'm still trying to unpick quotes from the literature too!

Please note: I will be picking out the most important bits of information from the Tors of Dartmoor website, which goes into more detail if you're interested.

Dartmoor: Bellever Tor and Laughter Tor

After just finishing my first week of GCSEs, I already wanted to get out into some fresh air having been cooped up in a building for the last 5 days. It turned out to be one of my favourite walks, having great tors, terrain, and surrounding interest.

Dartmoor: Combestone Tor and Aller Brook Tor

Combestone Tor

Today's aims were to seek out two finds by Tim Jenkinson, who appears a lot in my blog posts for his excellent work discovering new tors and for his extensive knowledge of the area.
