Little Mis Tor ( 102)...
...not so little when you are next to it but small in comparison to...
...Great Mis Tor (103)
One of my top four favourite tors - on a day like today from here you get fantisic views across a wide area of the moor...
...looking south to North Hessary Tor...
...north to Great Links Tor and ...
...twelve miles east to Haytor and Rippon Tor
Across Greena Ball to Clay Tor (104) which is on the northern bank of the River Walkham just east of Dead Lake.
Back over Greena Ball towards North Hessary Tor.
Just left off the road up to the transmission station is Herne Hole Tor (105).
Then to North Hessary Tor (106)...
...which is next to and dominated the transmission station and mast. The transmission station was built by the BBC in 1955 when a transmitter was needed to
introduce 405 line television into Devon. It now carries a small UHF TV
transmitter which serves Princetown and Dartmoor. FM radio transmissions
began in 1956 and covers most of Devon and eastern parts of Cornwall.
Nearby is Rundlestone Tor (107). By now the bright sunshine had gone it had started raining and I was on the edge of heavy shower. Far away I could hear thunder.
Another short walk to Hollow Tor (108)...
...with Great Mis Tor in the distance.
Finally over to Billy's Tor (109). Well there isn't a tor here at all, just lots of boulders (or clitter), but again it is in Terry Bound's book - so it counts!
