The plan today was to head for Great Links Tor and possibly Bleak House and beyond if the weather was ok. However the forecast to clear up after midday did not materilise on the western side of Dartmoor. In fact some water must have been put down last night as it was running like rivers down the paths and the streams became impassable. Thankfully there is a bridge over the River Lyd meaning the stepping stones weren’t needed!! The cloud came down on Arms Tor and I decided to shorten the walk to Brat Tor only and then back to the car via a look at the swollen Doetor Brook.
