Dartmoor: A Hot Walk to Cater's Beam (11.48 miles)

Fox Tor (Fox Tor Mires)

The following account is taken from my post on the DARTMOOR 365 Facebook group on 07/09/23:

One Tuesday in September it was very hot. Naturally, I always seem to choose the most exposed areas when it's like this. I set off from Whiteworks and, after crossing the Strane, ascended Strane Hill. On the crest of the hill I turned right to find the DPA stones, which delineate the proposed reservoir boundary. The Dartmoor Preservation Association purchased the land here from South West Water in 1985 with funds secured by the late Miss M. Loveday Trahair. Read more here.

Oh boy, this was going to be a hot one - very hot, in fact, and by the end once we, that being me, Tim Jenkinson and Paul Buck, had departed our own ways, it became unbearable. But, before I jump to conclusions, let's go back to the beginning of the walk where, after some 5/6 months away from these two chaps, we finally reunited at the Forest Inn at Hexworthy.
