This is one of the areas I’d wanted to return to and I’ve been excited about coming back here for a while now. Partly to improve a walk I’ve done before but mainly to stand on Harton Chest again. The last time I came here was to bag the 4 tors along the ridge, which made it an out and back walk. I’ve never been a fan of covering the same ground on a walk and will go out of my way to find a loop where possible. For this walk I decided to descend into the cleave, follow the river until I came out the northern end, then turn right and head up Hunters Tor before returning along the ridge and a stop at the vertigo inducing Harton Chest. Its a magical spot and this walk was a good one, there was more cloud on this side of the moor than back home in Plymouth, but so be it. I also had my second slip and fall in a river moment on this walk, a simple greasy rock and over I went. The camera went in briefly but it looks as though that has survived, just a wet arse, left foot, t-shirt and fleece which was around my waist. Most of it had dried before I got back to the car, which shows that its getting a bit warmer!!!
