Dartmoor: Abbot's Way Walk 2022 (22.7 miles)

South Hessary Tor

On Sunday more than 420 of us, or 78 teams, set off from Buckfast Abbey between 7:15am - 8:30am to walk the 23-mile Abbot's Way to Tavistock. Run by the Tavistock & District Outdoor Education Forum with the help of countless volunteers, I was to complete this route with Amanda Ellis and Fiona Rothwell. Our team name was 'Mafiam' (can you work out why?).

Dartmoor: Princetown to Saddle Bridge - Perambulation Second Leg (15.04 miles)

The Eylesbarrow Cobra

Let me just put it out there this was a tough 15-mile walk, not because of the distance as such but because of how long it took us to walk it: almost 9 hours!

Dartmoor: Royal Tor and Strane Tor

Royal Tor

I wasn't very well on this walk, nor was I very well before it - so why did I go? Well, it was the day of the week where mum and I usually do a walk, and she said that it'd be good for me to get out into the fresh air. Alright then, I thought.

Dartmoor: The Tors on Walkhampton Common (Revisit)

Ingra Tor Pony

This was another unexpected walk weather wise. It was supposed to be thick mist and cloud, and we expected a claggy day ahead, almost cancelling. But the Met Office couldn't have been any more wrong had they even tried. The weather was gorgeous.

Dartmoor: Ten Tors Training Camp 1: Hexworthy - Trowlesworthy - Princetown

The Trowlesworthy Tors from Ringmoor Down

This was an interesting experience for me, being my first ever camp. I was also very anxious, not only because I was camping but also because of the distance we were going to be covering, but I can happily say I completed the majority of it!
