Thursday 6th September around Dartmoor

To sweep up some tors in different places.

First to Hingston Rock.  This is a footpath which leads off the main road and only goes to the top of the hill.  It isn't used very  much and...






...this is what I was confronted with - 7 foot high ferns and there is no way I was going to attempt to get through that...

...which just leaves me with this long distance view of the hill where Hingston Rock (296) is.


A drive to Widecombe in the Moor in search of the Rugglestone Rock.  The pub about half a kilometre away takes it name from this rock.  You can't get at it from the pub side so have to come in from the moor.  Now this is one of the worst places I have been to on Dartmoor. A horrible bog and thick vegetation.  Looks innocuous enough in the photo but if not very careful you could be knee deep in bog.

But it was here the Rugglestone Rock (297).


Another drive through Holne and Scorriton to Cross Furzes and up this lane...

...before coming to the open moor.  Pupers Hill is in the distance.

Pupers Rock on Pupers Hill (298).  From here I walked across....

... to Snowdon with views to....
 
...the waste pile next to Red Lake..

...Huntingdon Warren.

That just leaves 9 to do and they all link up so one big walk or two smaller ones?
