It had been intended to do a 7 mile walk but because of the forecast temperatures it was decided to do only 5 miles.

Then up to Dixton Hill, through Far Stanley and up again beside the Prescott Hill climb. Finally past Wickfields Farm and back
Back with my old friends for the annual walk to Fur Tor starting from Postbridge. Much cooler than yesterday with some light rain on the way out. The ususal route through Sandy Hole Pass and over Cut Hill. Remote Dartmoor at it's best, returning the same way. 10.5 miles with 1500 feet ascent.
Back on Dartmoor for a few days. A solo walk aroound Burrator starting from Dousland. Over Yennadon Down to pick up the old railway line, then to follow the leat for a while.
