Scenes from an autumnal romp around Dartmoor National Park, starting at Postbridge, heading south and making a loop via Drizzlecombe to view its spectacular stone rows, with a wild camp in the middle on the River Plyn. It was a clear cold night but I had lots of layers, hearty food, hot tea, a good sleeping bag, and a warm pooch to keep things warm and cozy.

    I’ve bookmarked this hike for next summer. I stay on that side of the moor every year but we tend to stick to the walks we know. I have never visited those stones – embarrassed to say. The wild camping does sound appealing – love the peace and darkness of Dartmoor…especially after Dubai.
