Dartmoor: Gipsy Rock and Peek Hill

Lowery Tor

Today was going to be a revisit to one of Dartmoor's more dramatic landscapes; the area around Burrator Reservoir is like a mini Snowdonia as some often say. However, this route would also clear up some unbagged tors too, making all the public tors north of here bagged.

Dartmoor: Sharpitor and Leather Tor (taking in the views on a misty day)

The day before my 15th birthday and I wanted a shortish walk, taking in a new area previously unexplored. Time to visit the imposing Leather Tor, and other nearby rocks. It was also my first time carrying the 75 litre rucksack, to train for Ten Tors and it sure hurt! Handy that these tors are easy to access from nearby car parks just in case something goes wrong, I'm so pessimistic.
