Dartmoor: An Exploration of Gidleigh Woods (9.47 miles)

Extremities of North Park Tor (Lower Gidleigh Tor)

This exploration of Gidleigh Woods was long, long overdue by almost a year. With lockdowns and then being booked up, finding a suitable day for myself, Paul Buck, Tim Jenkinson and Paul Rendell to meet up on was tedious to say the least, but we fixed a date in October and hoped for the best weather-wise - and it delivered!

Dartmoor: The Tors and Rocks near Scorhill

Kestor Rock

So for my 2018 birthday walk (I turned 16), I wanted to go somewhere different. I had planned Kitty Tor, deep into the high moor, but the weather was what the decisions came down to. Instead, I found a remote car park onto the moor at Scorhill, the base for our mini tor bagging session today.
