Like the last walk this one was a bit of a tidy up exercise to complete my Dartmoor tors list, after this I’ll have 5 left.. There were two walks, and a couple of darts to grab two more, which made 7 for the day. The five I have left will all be single walks to those tops. These ones however were good and I really enjoyed the National Trust walk to Fingle Bridge and back, despite the constant drizzle. It seems to be the way at the moment that I take a day off or plan a weekend walk and it results in poor weather. Well its not going to stop me from finishing this lot, I can go back in better weather another time!!

I visited Castle Diogo a few years ago and quite liked it. Didn’t have time for the walk to Fingle Bridge but it looks superb, even, as you say, on a dreary day!
