"Parked at Meldon Dam car park and headed west out over South Down picking up the West Devon Way until East Tor. Quick ascent up Sourton Tor before heading straight up Branscombe’s Loaf with paragliders circling above. All down hill to Shelstone Tor for lunch before crossing the West Okement River and the steep climb to Black Tor. Then a gentle amble back to Meldon Dam on the old quarry tracks. 11.1km. Sunny/windy. Solo. " — MuchMoorWalking • Sep 24, 2022
"We started at the pub The Highwayman Inn and walked to Black-a-tor cops. It was hard going and the ground was saturated and it was almost dark when we arrived at Black Tor. The walk from the cops was vary steep and we were all glad to summit.
We had rain almost all night but it was fun. In the morning we were fog bound but found the return trip easy as we followed the river back to the bridge and over the moor back to our cars. " — mikebright • Jun 25, 2017
"My Bombardier Leadership course was carried out in Plymouth and around Dartmoor. I also spent a few weeks on Military excercise in and around the Moors. Okehampton was our basecamp, along with many other bivy areas around DTA (Dartmoor Training Area) spent many hours, both day and night, tabbing around Dartmoor in the cold and wet......it was ALWAYS cold and wet !!.
A beautiful area though, one day, I'd love to go back under my own guidance, and appreciate the moors in my own time. " — HikingViking • Apr 8, 1997
