19th January

We took advantage of a 'One Service Sunday' for my minister husband and headed out at lunchtime to Dartmeet.  Sun again, although gloves and hats were welcome too, and much of the ground was hard with frost.  Up the road, and off to the right we found the Coffin Stone [N13] (312m), and on the other side of the road the Money Pit [N14].  A little further along the road we headed north, up Yar Tor (416m).  To make more of a 'lollipop' walk, we then headed north east to Cathanger Rock (400m) and back along the ridge to North Corndon Tor (410m) and Corndon Tor (434m).  Down past the memorial to a 19 year old lieutenant, who died commanding his troops in Palestine in 1918.  A young leader indeed.

Back across the road, as the sun dipped below the horizon, we also fitted in Sharp Tor (380m).

The shortest route back was down and up again, which involved crossing a boggy stream - thankfully not as deep as last weekend!  Back into Dartmeet along the road, taking care to step to the side for any passing vehicles, as it was quite dim by this point.

If I am counting the points I've reached as those from Ken Ringwood and Dartmoor Search and Rrescu Team Plymouth's book 'Dartmoor's Tors and Rocks',I'm now up to 14!  At some point I'll make a list page with the reference numbers.  Here's the route from this walk.0
