Distance 12 miles
Time 5 hrs 45 mins
Guiness enjoyment rating 9/10
On a gloriously sunny, with new camera in hand (or rather in carry case looped very securely around my neck) we were off to the moor again. No exploring today, but mostly along tried and tested routes. From Newbridge there is a climb before you enter the moor and onto Dr Blackall's Drive (This carriageway was laid down by the lord of Spitchwick Manor in the late 19th century).
.
After a couple miles the 'Drive' turns into the Two Moors way before I veered off toward Sharp Tor
And then onward and downward to lovely Dartmeet. People often mistakenly think this is where the East and West Darts meet. Oh no, hang on, just checked the map, yes that is right actually.
Heading north along the West Dart we come to the point that was giving Guiness sleepless nights - the stepping stones. No set of pictures on this walk would be complete without Guiness refusing to cross the River. It was fine, in the end I just carried on and he ran back to the car and waited for me.
The return leg - another view of Sharp Tor
And just a few yards before the end at Spitchwick. I think we went here as kids - it's a lovely family spot.
Another long walk, but Guiness and I loved it.
