    What a beautiful spot Laura...that Tumble smashes those paths and seems to know the route 😀...you're still one of two people I know who use "dimpsy" 👌

    Only yesterday was I thinking about a trek to Fur Tor and a swim at Tavy Cleave.😀Tumble is lovely and must be great company. TY

      It’s such a great walk via tacky cleave, way back is a bit dull but I’m not sure if that’s because I couldn’t see anything 😂 and yes tumble really is lovely 🥰

    Devil's Kitchen is a fab swim spot, love it there. On the other side from where you were filming is a big long smooth sloping rock under the water which you can stand on and slide slowly down for 10 feet until you fall off the edge into the deep bit - fab :)

      I nearly died slipping off that rock one summer, my friend thought I was a goner! I went in so fast, Emma still brings it up 😅

    Such fond childhood memories of walking Tavy Cleve - when it looks like it is running uphill - and Fur Tor (my old 1inch Ordnance Survey map still has a proud stamp from the Fur Tor postbox)!

    Nice work Laura! I also reached Fur Tor (& Cut Hill) for the 1st time this year, although I didn't camp there!
    It's proper remote! :)

    Thanks Laura for another great adventure. Bet your glad you weren't on Dartmoor last night. Tilly and I sat outside our holiday cottage watching the storm which appeared to come from that direction. Later when it arrived here (Slapton) Tilly had to have big cuddles as she is terrified of fireworks and storms. Thanks again .

    Tumble singlehandedly lead you to the camping spot, then tended the cattle and so proceeded to ask for more cuddles.. she does it all !!
    😄 🐶🍀
    I will admit it, your enthusiasm for the outdoor is even stronger than mine.
    Happy to see you on the trails walking the miles again;
    Take care and stay safe Laura 😃🙂

    Nice video. It’s a slog to get there from the north if it’s wet. Just a shame it never feels that remote anymore. The last two times I’ve camped at Fur Tor there were several other people camping. Probably best to save it for mid week if you can.

    • @lauragriffithsoutdoors
      @lauragriffithsoutdoors  Рік тому +1

    Loved your video Laura I have never walked on that part of the moors and as you say it can be remote but also beautiful at times with amazing views. I spend a lot of time in wales and the Lake District however watching your video shows what is on your doorstep sometimes. Look forward to more of your adventures👏

    Great video, really enjoyed it. You can apparently cross the Tavy just below the pool where you swam and walk up the other side which is easier (not done it we missed the crossing last time we went that way too busy chatting!). I now take beach shoes with me for river crossing, hubby thinks I am nuts, but they have a bit more grip. Still haven't made it to Fur Tor (our preferred route in is via Lynch Tor) as they seem to be firing much more this year. Hopefully soon. Glad I found your channel. :)

    • @lauragriffithsoutdoors
      @lauragriffithsoutdoors  Рік тому +1

      I have crossed and done the other side before but couldn’t find where I crossed, it all looked a bit dodgy! I think the beach shoe idea is great!

      @devonwalking Рік тому +1

      We are going down the cleave this week, there are a couple of bits that are really not fun at all near the top, will see if we can get over but with all the rain! Hoping for one more swim before it gets too cold 😉🤣@@lauragriffithsoutdoors

    Whichever route you take, a trip to Fur Tor always seems like an adventure. I think the easiest route is from Postbridge via Broad Down and Sandy Hole but I am also a fan of your outbound route via Tavy Hole and Lynch Tor to Bagga Tor Gate
