What I thought was going to be a grey Dartmoor day, turned into a stunner with broken cloud and some beautiful light. Leaving from Princetown Prison "Viewpoint" I took the bridleway to Bachelor's Hall stopping to quickly photograph the Devonport Leat for my ongoing project. Next up I had to navigate a field with a Bull in it. As he was chilling half on the path I decided to give him a wide berth and take a route behind him. As it happens he didn't even move, but it's still a nervous time!
My Journey visiting all of Dartmoors Tors and Hilltops as listed in "Walking the Tors and Hilltops of Dartmoor" by A.D. Johnson he created a list of 190 points within the National Park Boundary as based on the OS Landranger 1:25000 Map. Also extending that list using the amazing https://www.torsofdartmoor.co.uk website.

Six Tors and a Crock of Gold
First up Tor wise was Round Hill Tor
Then Prince Hall Rocks
The going in this area is pretty tough!
Crock of Gold
With time ticking on not wanting another encounter with the Bull I decided to hike up to the Devonport Leat and follow it through Peat Cot and then up to the road from Whiteworks back to Princetown. Before I made it to the Leat I had a unfortunate encounter with a bog, and in protecting my camera I ended up covered and a little battered! It was a soggy walk back to the car, but at least the camera was OK.
