"Parked in the carpark at the beginning of Yellowmeade Farm’s drive and proceeded east up to Hollow Tor instead of along the drive itself. Completed all the tors around the transmitter before descending to Foggin Tor Quarry and then a circular route around the quarries of Swell Tor and Kings Tor before taking in the Merrivale standing stone and double stone rows before returning to car. 9.8km. Sunny. Solo. " — MuchMoorWalking • Oct 9, 2021

Afternoons were free, and I aimed to do a series of shorter hikes on the moor during my time there, before returning to the Vespers service in the early evening. I love the moors of south-west England, and especially Dartmoor (see at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmoor). It may not reach the heights of the mountains in Wales, Cumbria or Scotland - its highest top is High Willhays at 621m - but it is a wild, lonely and remote place, at least in parts. Hiking on it can be tough and the weather fickle, so it is not surprising the British Army uses the northern moor as one of its principle training areas. I headed north from Buckfast, in bright sunshine, on one of the few roads that crosses the moor, to Princetown, famous for its prison, but also a popular tourist destination, with its own brewery (see at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princet..." — marktrengove2 • Apr 12, 2018
