Tuesday 3rd February Steeperton Tor

A much longer walk today starting from Belstone. This is a very attractive part of the moor but not one I get to very often. There is a good dusting of snow on the higher part of the moor and the forecast was relatively good.

I parked here and this is looking across to Belstone Cleeve.

Up to Belstone Tor. Higher Tor is on the right and Steeperton Tro is in the distance.

Looking across to Yes Tor, West Mill Tor and Rowtor with East Okement Farm below.

A small snowman sat on top of Higher Tor, Cosden Beacon in the distance.






















Looking down from Higher Tor, along the ridge line with Oke Tor and Steeperton Tor in the distance.

Down to the ford in Steeperton Gorge.

Looking back down Steeperton Gorge.....

...and then the other way towards Okement Hill.

I went over the ridge towards Wild Tor and crossed Steeperton Brook at the Ford. In the distance is  my route back over Cosden Hill.

Looking across to Yes Tor with Steeperton Tor on the left.

Past the Stone Circle just below Little Hound Tor with Fernworth Forest in the distance.

A Royal Navy rescue helicopter came up over Taw Marsh. Hanginstone Hill is in the far distance.



















Yes Tor, West Mill Tor and Row Tor.

Up to Cosdon Beacon.

Finally back to Belstone.
