So December becomes the first blank month on my exploration of the moors, mainly due to being down under for some winter sun. Turns out I missed the best of the snow, which is a little bit gutting. Anyway yesterday I eased my way back in with a short walk with Helen out to Wels Tor (128). The tor is a pretty unremarkable collection of small rocks, but 200m to the west stands the more impressive Buckland Beacon (195) and though unlisted on my original list I am more than happy to add it. The Beacon is also home to the Ten Commandments Stone and although due to the strong wind we failed to get to them, I will return to photograph the tors and stones, hopefully being able stand up without fear of being blown away.
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.
