Dartmoor: Moretonhampstead to Manaton hike (8 miles)

Pound Rock, North Bovey

I was sitting at home and I was thinking, "What linear walk have I not done that is achievable from my bus route, that takes in new tors and rocks?" Ah, Moretonhampstead to Manaton, which would take me back to the beloved Hayne Down.

Dartmoor: The Tors and Rocks on Easdon Down, and Manaton Rocks

As I left Newton Abbot town centre on the bus and it started to rain I knew that today would go wrong somehow, it always does. I still kept Easdon Down in my mind for the walk, however. It did go wrong, slightly, or did it? Anyway, let's start off on a high though to say that some of today's tors were great!
