Max is a young tor bagger who has always been fascinated by Dartmoor, but became even more interested after training for the Ten Tors Challenge in 2018, despite not participating in the actual event. It was when he came across Paul Buck and Tim Jenkinson where his relationship with the National Park became permanent and addictive and grew, completing several circular and linear walks to explore Dartmoor's many treasures and, not least, its well-known and less well-known tors.

What Max has gained from these early experiences is the motivation to get out and explore, finding quite a few undocumented outcrops, and enthusiasm to create his own website which can be found at www.torbagger.co.uk. He also contributes to the database of Dartmoor Tors at www.torsofdartmoor.co.uk, and latterly the database of Dartmoor Artefacts, at dartefacts.co.uk, a website designed to enable enthusiasts to discover many of Dartmoor's points of interest in an innovative format.

NOTE: Most NGRs used for my captions are taken from either www.torsofdartmoor.co.uk or dartefacts.co.uk and you should go there to seek more information.

His new book - East Dartmoor's Lesser-Known Tors and Rocks - was published in 2022.
