30th July

Counting this as two walks, as we moved the car to start at a different spot for two extra tors. A walking partner who'd not joined me since January, and strong sunshine made it a memorable morning.  We started from the pumphouse near Rundlestone, walking firstly along the road, and then south to climb Rundlestone Tor (490m).  Here's part of the view:

From here we could see our next destination, Herne Hole Tor, which at 500m was on my list of hit targets! 

Rather than going down the same way, we headed on over North Hessary Tor. So good to be up there and able to see in all directions! Remember my last experience there?  Coming down we couldn't immediately see, but headed for Hollow Tor (481m). It's a lovely Tor to look at - not much clitter, but chunks of rock set apart quite dramatically. 

Back to the car, we'd covered four tors in two miles!

A short hop in the car to the Merrivale car park and we set off for walk two. Not towards the Mis Tors, but instead to Over Tor and Church Rock. The rock is the highest point of the tor, so we found both together. 

From there we crossed back across the road and visited the Merrivale antiquities [M6].  Two walks, and the tally of tors visited is growing.
