It’s June and time to lengthen the mileage walked, I headed first over tors I have visited before in the Staple Tors and Roos Tor. However this time I carried on out the back of Roos Tor to Cocks Hill (not worth the effort!) and Lynch Tor (more than made up for Cocks Hill), before doubling back to White Tor. Finishing with a leg busting haul up to Cox Tor (should have stayed lower through the dip!!).

My legs were burning when I finally reached Cox Tor, it was further than it looked to get round from White Tor to here
