Yesterday, we ventured to visit the highest point in South England, which also happens to be the highest peak on Dartmoor. Our hike started at Row Tor, close to Okehampton. While the early morning was still overcast, we had some stunning views once we arrived at High Willhays. A beautifully remote part of Dartmoor!

That's Vixen Tor as seen from our way up to Pew Tor. From the opposite side the granite outcrop looks like the sphinx.
Meant to post this yesterday for fence Friday but forgot.

Chee Tor tunnel is shallower than some of the other tunnels, and the sides here the rock of the hillside has been used as a foundation for the brick tunnel itself as the walls disappear into the darkness beyond.
Since being a kid I have always wanted to explore the full length of the Monsal Trail in the Peak District, which follows a 9 mile stretch of old railway line from Bakewell to Blackwell Mill. At the time none of the tunnels were open so large detours had to be made following the Derwent River (that was over 30 years ago, mind!), but with the tunnels now opened it was a great trip to take the bike out on.
Pre-sunrise colours behind Over Owler Tor.
What difference a day makes. Twenty-four hours earlier this view was hidden by thick hill-fog.
What a great picture with a great guy. Say hello world, to my boyfriend Tor! We were so relaxed and comfortable at Atakapa... cuddling and socializing.
This morning, looking towards Over Owler Tor and Mother Cap, with the heather at its peak. I just hope that the midge repellent that I slapped all over works as advertised, as there were millions of the wee beasties.

1648 bei der schwedischen Belagerung beschädigt und später eingestürzt, wurde der Turm 1655 vom italienischen Baumeister Antonio Don im Barockstil wieder aufgebaut. Die anschließende Stadtmauer sicherte im weiteren Verlauf mit zahlreichen Wehrtürmen die Südwestflanke der Stadt. In der Tordurchfahrt führt eine Treppe in den Stadtgraben.

Combestone Tor is right in the centre of Dartmoor, where it overlooks the beautiful valley of the River Dart. It is probably the most accessible of all the 100+ tors, with a road passing within a few yards.

As with most of the Dark Peaks Edges, Derwent Edge is Westerly facing often photographed at sunset.
Morning light gives a very different feel and other compositions open up. I was hoping for clear skies in the East and cloud in the West to shoot along the edge. What I got was an amazing but brief sunrise then a walk with the sun behind cloud. By the time it reappeared, the light was harsh but I thought this one was worth a share.
This was taken from Combestone Tor, which is in the centre of Dartmoor, half way between Hexworthy and Venford Reservoir. It is virtually on the edge of the road, and is the most accessible of all the Dartmoor Tors. There are beautiful views of the valley of the River Dart, with Dartmeet and the remains of its clapper bridge about a mile away across country.
We passed over the 1713ft summit of Cats tor unable to see a sausage as the mist was that thick...no chance for photographs on top, I was beginning to wonder why Cats tor was on the list at all. However those that walk the hills will know that these mists can disperse just like that, and as we trudged off towards Shining tor we were treated to a view back towards the hill it's massive bulk looming above the moorland. At that moment I realised why it was on my 100 list.

Ernsthaft, wer von euch hat sich denn schon mal so genau die Radabweiser am Brandenburger Tor angesehen?! :-)
Feine Kunstschmiedearbeit, nur damit das Kutschenrad nicht den Torsockel beschädigt...
Dartmoor hill ponies passing by on Combeshead Tor. I was out for a walk on a very hot summer day. I'd stopped here for a rest when the ponies arrived. They stayed for a few minutes and then moved off.
Had a wander up to Millstone Edge on Tuesday evening but didn't come away with anything worth sharing from there - just after sunset I had a wander up onto Over Owler Tor as ive never been before and stumbled upon a very cliche shot so thought id join the club ;)
Nothing special very flat and no light, just some afterglow in the sky.
I'm also playing with the Fuji XT2 which is growing on me more and more.
This is 2 shots merged as the rock would have caused problems with a filter.
Heather is starting to show now so im going to try and get out a bit more for some more purple shots & light all being well.

Exposed to the elements at Saddle Tor under dark skies, hail and rain with strong winds for two hours waiting for a moment of magic. A rainbow appearing over this well known tree is what I came for just before I was too cold to carry on. The hot tea, a banana and Mars bar was much needed back at the car soon after I took this shot.
