Dartmoor: Warren House Inn to Belstone - Perambulation Fourth Leg (13.06 miles)

The Thirlstone at Watern Tor

This was the fourth leg of the Perambulation and a walk we were all looking forward to more than the others since it takes in some great areas and the most beautiful tor on the moor - and no, I'm not biased.

Dartmoor: Kestor Rock and Thornworthy Tor in horrendous weather

Stone Tor

This was one of the weirdest walks I've done to date and that is mostly for the weather. Back at home, all was misty but I had seen Yes Tor glistening in the sun that morning on Facebook, so decided to wing it! Turned out to be a bad idea in the end, or did it? Spoiler: I still attained two new bags out of it, and two revisits, but I did miss out on a further three new bags!

Dartmoor: Ten Tors Training Walk 1 - Postbridge Circular Via Kestor Rock (14 miles)

Thornworthy Tor

This was always going to be an interesting day. For months I had considered doing Ten Tors, but lack of fitness, lack of teamwork, never camping, and lack of stamina and motivation brought me down. This is the first walk of many to train the team for the event in May 2018, so I gave it a try. At least I could bag a few tors along the way!
