Our route took us from the Forest Inn (which is closed until 27th January). Up the disused track to Hooten Wheals, then across to the head of Skir Gut. On over some rough ground to Ter Hill and down to Deep Swincombe. Next to the little reservoir at Swincombe before returning past John Bishop's house and back to Hexworthy.
Frost at the start which, in the shade, remained all day.
The view to Yar Tor.
Hamel Down in the distance.
Looking directly down to Dartmeet.
Tom going over the stile.
Sharp Tor in the foreground with Hay Tor and Rippon Tor in the distance.
