    Another lovely video, thank you Trev. The view from Bench Tor is lovely and the descent towards the river and back up is beautiful, as you said. Thank you for managing to get so many videos up recently despite the restrictions. I love to see Dartmoor. 👏👏❤️❤️

    Another great video Trev. Thanks mate. You guys are an inspiration, I watch your videos and itch to get out. This morning I got up to the Moors before the sun came up and walked along from top tor to Honeybag and back around the bottom path around the hill. You recognised them correctly. Amazing frosty day. Keep up the videos, loving them.

    A walk with a bit of everything thrown in, which I enjoyed, as I have not been able to get out being in Tier 3. The Falls looked great and ideal for a cold water swim, something I have been watching on UA-cam lately. I have always been on edge walking passed cows after a very nasty experience with a group of friends 5 years ago and dogs and running are two very bad ideas. The ponies were real nice, especially the young one "I hope he does not get teased".....lol! cheers Alan

    I would love to see the venford twin falls.. But like last time I visited rain more rain so I just drove to places instead. so gutted this year I have printed maps of circular walks. my boots are no longer water proof so no rainy walks until I replace my solamons. I have done a lot of miles in my solamons even in the rain . I am visiting Dartmoor for 5 days and 4 nights. So if there is a break in the weather I want to do a vlog and have a brew next to the falls . I have most of my circular walks based on your walks but adapted so I can bag more tors using the car . I was a local I would be hiking on my days off in Dartmoor. my first encounter Dartmoor was in cadets . even back then I felt at home and at peace not the moors. Thank Trevor. really enjoyed this one. Karl

    What is Dartmoor? Is it public land or a National Park? I could look it up but I would rather hear it from a local like yourself, Trevor. Beautiful place every time you go there!! It does need a few more hammock trees though. 😀

    • @SummitOrNothing
