Impressions of Hound Tor
Last bank holiday Monday, after our first visit of Haytor, we continued the short distance on to Hound Tor, another well-known spot on Dartmoor National Park. The car park was packed and there were also quite a lot of people scrambling among the granite stacks but because Hound Tor is a series of many granite outcrops spread over a hill it was much easier to get a shot without any person in the frame (no Photoshop needed this time :-P).
The ease of access (literally next to the car park) makes it a very popular destination and it was a lot of fun exploring the location with the family.
On our way back I made the huge mistake of relying solely on the satnav and I managed to drive all the way to Crediton exclusively on tiny single track roads - one bit steep downhill through dense forest, we even came across a deer in the middle of the way! It was like hiking in a car LOL....
BTW, I just passed 1 million views on my flickr stream - so thank you all very much for visiting, commenting and faving my photos folks!!!!
