The Nutcracker @ Lustleigh Cleave

Officially Sharpitor, this is Lustleigh nutcracker. Did it have a logan store on top of it?  was it rocking? . I could never find the nearby Raven’s Tor and Harton’s Chest, and where is the cleave itself? (OS maps point to the slope / cliff itself, which make sense thinking about the OTHER DARTMOOR CLEAVE).

Anyway, the tor has great views down the Bovey river.  The views from the ridge towards Hunter Tor are magnificent! We re-visited in Nov. 2013.  but D’s picture is from Dec. 2011 https://mostlyoutdoorsone.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/lustleigh-cleave-18-dec-2011/ 20131123 (30) 111218_ami_62-scaled1000 DSC02754 Francis Frith Nostalgic Photos:
