Is the ridge overlooking the river Erm. We walked along the southern part of the Two Moors Way, from Harford to leftlake Mire along the old tramway.

A grey and wet morning on Dartmoor gradually became a lovely day as clouds base had lifted up. With brisk wind and pretty cold water, I was thankful for my hot tea flask …

Bit of everything on this Sunday afternoon. Sunshine and scattered showers, well more like thunderstorms. We were lucky that trails was very quiet because our party blocked the most of it …

Down Tor Stone Circle – Devonport Leat – Crazy Well Pool

Parked at Burrator Lake and went up to Down Tor and to the magnificent Stone Circle and Row. Then we followed the Devonport Leat to Crazy Well Pool and back. Almost a year after this visit: Crazy Well with E and A

A winter stroll around Belstone

February 7, 2015 by danaron

We’re heading up the river Taw in a truly winter day. Its cold and windy but feels so great to be out. The hills have an extra layer of beautiful ice and snowy patch.

We were heading to the stone circle near Little Hound Tor but soon discovered that we’ll have to take our shoes off to cross the Taw.. We’ve decided instead to climb the small ridge towards Higher Tor and Belstone common and pay tribute to the Irishman’s wall

A view south past Oke Tor. The Western parts of Dartmoor have a decent cover of snow.

Yes Tor with snow

January 18, 2015 by danaron

Third time in a month we find ourselves on the top of Dartmoor. We were heading somewhere else, for a gentle walk when we saw the white cover over the high tors near Okehampton. A quick change of plan and a gorgeous climb in a perfect sunny day (even the wind at the summit was not too bad …). The snow was very fresh and soft although every footstep quickly turned it into a slippery icy patch. I recon it was snowing on Saturday, maybe even at the early hours of the morning. Perfect timing!
