Falls of the Braan and Pass of Killiecrankle

The sun came out after two rainy and foggy days and the autumn colours seem brighter than ever. Equipped with four cameras and a similar number of phones, it becomes hard to keep track who took which photo. I’m adding the initials to prevent future squabble …

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:
