6th March

We had a break from walking on Dartmoor, with a trip to Prague during the half term break.  Suffice to say, we walked between five and seven miles each day we were there!  The weather was wet when we returned, so it was March before we were out on the moor again.

We set off knowing rain was on the way, so well togged up!  From Two Bridges this time, towards Wistman's Wood, but heading east a little way up the track, to climb Crockern Tor (409m) [M10].  Then on along the ridge via  Littaford Tors (466m), and with rain blowing sideways into our faces, Little Longaford Tor (472m) and Longaford Tor (507m).  It did stop raining, but was still blowy, as you can see from this short clip!  We could see the Powder Mills from the top of Longaford [L10]


Thanks to the rain and wind, I was not up to carrying on to Higher White Tor, so we headed back into the valley, along the edge of Wistman's Wood [L9] and back along the track to Two Bridges. 4.3 miles total walked.
