Plan C - Dartmoor North to South

Plan C - Dartmoor North to South

Every year I take part in the Original Mountain Marathon on the last weekend of October.  Last year was cancelled due to Covid and so I was really looking forward to this years race starting from Langdale, Lake District.  Unfortunately nature had other ideas and on Thursday morning a storm ripped through the event centre destroying the marquee and led to the cancellation of the event.  With bags already packed and not wanting to miss the opportunity to catch up with my running partner Oliver, we came up with the plan to do a two day North to South of Dartmoor.  Starting from the Ten Tors start near Okehampton Army Camp.  Full route here.  We managed to find a "suitable" camping spot near Fox Tor and survived a wild night during which we experienced heavy rain and wind.
