Today we met at Haytor for a photo shoot, to promote the fact that the DNPA won an award for their work on access for all. This is all part of promoting the Miles without Styles routes, the National Park are listing on their website. After The photo shoot moved to Hound Tor, to reconnoitre a possible route up to the Tor, then on to the Medieval Settlement.

Gill had to drop out of this reconnoitre, due to a mechanical problem with her buggy, which has been resolved.

As usual Gill and I stopped at the Twisted Oak, after a lovely but tiring day up on Dartmoor.
