A venture to the Southwestern side of the moor, this walk starts from Cadover Bridge...
and heads west thought lovely North Wood
We then headed to a viaduct where some people were risking life and limb abseiling for charity.
A stray wolf made a brief appearance.
Heading north we soon came to a tunnel. Guiness was naturally wary as he'd heard of the bright eyed monster that hid within. I found it really dark inside but being the clever thing I am I worked out (eventually) that I could improve this by taking off my sunglasses.
After heading east through we then climbed to Dewerstone Rock where Guiness insisted on posing for the camera.
And then it was a leisurely stroll across Wigford Down and back to the car.
Crazy abseilers - why would anyone want to risk life and limb that way?? Oh... hang on, that's me! I must say that dangling in the air 50ft from the ground is one of the most peaceful and blissful things ever.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful part of Dartmoor and it looks like there's some good cycle routes round there.
