Good weather means a chance to camp on Dartmoor, I’d promised the boys a camp at Harford gate which they’d spied last year when we walked through here. The Dartmoor national park allows camping in lots of spots within the park boundary, here, and this is a good one. We setup quite quickly and my youngest got the water boiling and we were set. I was glad we did as another group arrived, looked at us as if to say, you are in our spot, and then skulked off downstream a bit. We are already planning our next one!!

Tent’s up and brew time
We’d taken a disposable BBQ which we balanced on stones to stop it burning the grass. Burgers and sausage on the go
Another brew!!
Burgers in the sunshine, excellent
Our little spot
Hangershell Rock up on the horizon
Looks like a bit of rain to the north, but we didn’t have any until a brief shower around 9am the next morning
After a decent nights sleep my youngest got the water on the go again, a great night, good food, great exploring of the area. We will be doing it again soon.

What a gorgeous spot! Looks like you and the boys had a great time too. I’m hoping to get out on a wild camp this year too, and this has just made me more keen.

Great photos. Love to see kids enjoying the outdoors in the happy faces tell the story. Can’t beat a wild camp and that looks like a cracking spot 😀

One part I forgot to mention was that from the tent we could also see the Eddystone lighthouse flashing away, 13 miles off the coast, so around 20 miles away. The boys loved it so hopefully next weekend we will be out again
