On Saturday evening I was on Dartmoor heading towards Dick’s Well where our 10 Tors teams were camping for the night. It was fabulous weather – sunny, big blue skies and lots of photogenic clouds. Here are a few photographs I took whilst we were waiting for a team to arrive.

It was a magical 15 minutes of sun, light and solitude in an awesome landscape – I wished it could have lasted forever.
It didn’t though – we had to walk back down to Nodden Gate to ‘talk’ to one of our teams only to then have to walk back up to Dick’s Well via Brat Tor. If you haven’t done that walk I recommend you do – it is very steep – it is a red zone climb and Tony and I did it twice in 90 minutes – I suppose the consolation was that the second time were weren’t carrying full 65 litre rucksacks.
Great picks Adrian . Neil Rushton here from Cullompton . I met you when Caroline and I did the IOS swim . I’ve recommended your blog to several

Hello Neil – I remember you. Thank you very much for your comments and recommendations! Adrian
Lovely part of the moor that area around Brat Tor, love the views across to Cornwall from there. I was over by Wild Tor and Cosdon Hill on Sunday and there were streams of 10 tors groups walking off the moor after camping out! Not long now until the main weekend!
