Dartmoor: Clearing up stragglers along the East Dart

Broken Tor and Tim at the elongated outcrop

It feels quite surreal to say that this walk has meant that I have bagged every named tor between Gidleigh on the North Moor and Cornwood on the South Moor, barring one which isn't even named - yet! But it looks too good to be forgotten about, residing at SX 623 780 below Higher White Tor. I still have a long way to go, but to be able to say I've done a large patch is a great feeling, and long may it continue.

Dartmoor: An Expedition to the Queen of the Moor (Part 1)

This walk had been in the planning for quite some time now, and given it was the first 'long' day of the year (31 Mar), a visit to the Queen of the Moor would be appropriate. I have never been until now and had high expectations of the tor itself. Several people have described it as the 'best' and even the 'queen' of the moor. Only thing which had to be decided upon was the route - would Paul, Tim and I go from Lane End or Postbridge? We took the latter.
