WILDCAMP

Summer Solstice Wild Camp

Sunday 21 June 2015

The plan was straight forward enough. We would drive to Dartmoor. Walk out onto the moors. Set up camp and watch the sunset. In the morning we would wake up early and watch the sunrise on Summer Solstice.

Beardown Circular

Tuesday 15 May 2012

I left the car and walked along the road for twenty or thirty meters until reaching a wide green lane with a style. I had often driven past this lane but I have never walked up to it or along the path to the bridge that it leads to.

Petertavy Great Common

Friday 23 March 2012

Having parked at the car park above Whitchurch Common I walked up to Cox Tor to admire the views before crossing the saddle to Great Staple Tor. The weather was perfect for a walk on Dartmoor. The sun was shining but it was not too hot, and there was no wind or rain forecast for the day.

The Beehive Huts of Dartmoor were igloo-shaped buildings of corbelled drystone walling that resembled the old-fashioned styled beehives and were used as a store or shelter.

Devonport Leat from Leather Tor

Saturday 24 April 2004

Having a few hours to spare I decided to explore Sharpitor and Leather Tor. I parked in the car park on the B3212 right next to Goadstone Pool which is just north of Sharpitor and headed off with no particular plan.
