Today I wanted a simple walk, not too far, some nice views and somewhere new. All of today’s route was new ground to me, 3 tors I haven’t been on before, decent views despite the haze and finally warm enough for just a t-shirt!! Having finished the walk I was a little disappointed I didn’t walk further along Hameldown, however that’s the way things are but if this weather continues I’ll be able to get out in the evenings as well soon. This walk was done without seeing another person until I reached my car again at the end, this will have been the opposite from the northern moor today were hundreds of teenagers will have been trekking their Ten Tors routes. Hope all went well for them.
