Holiday - Dartmoor Day 1

Dartmoor Holiday Day 1

Monday 14th March

This morning Tim and I set off around 08.30 and set off to the Toby Carvery in Exeter for breakfast, we got there about 10.15.  After breakfast we headed for Hay Tor as we had planned to do some climbing before checking in to where we are staying.  We got to Hay Tor and our ourselves ready to walk out to it.  It was rather windy but as we got up to the part of the Tor we chose to climb on we were quite sheltered.  We kitted up and set off on the first route Zig Zag.  

The next route we did was called Bulging Wall.  Both routes had their challenges but were nice climbs.  There were lots of people around hiking and dog walking.  One man stopped with us for quite a while chatting and asking about climbing.  We left there about 4 and made our way to Monkstone where we are staying.  We stayed here about 2 years ago and liked it so much we wanted to come back.  Like last time there was a cream tea waiting for us!

We settled in and had a cozy evening in front of the fire!!
