Thanks Wayne, I do think when the skies are like that B&W works really well on some subjects.

Week 29.
It was a bit of a dilemma this week with the high fire risk I didn't want to be too deep into the high Moor just in case so I decided to go up over Meldon Dam and along to Black Tor, still on the high Moor but an easy escape route if needed down to the reservoir, as usual you can see the full story and photos here https://www.ephotozine.com/user/topsyrm-149719/blog.
Black Tor.
Meldon Reservoir Dam.
There's still some standing water around even after the recent weather.

That’s all for this week folks, thanks for looking in and as always, comments welcome.

As always, TFS, Paul.
All things being equal, we should be up on the Moor next Sunday but I'd suggest most people avoid it on 4 wheels - it's the Exeter Classic Motorcycle Club's Dartmoor run. This USUALLY heads for Princetown via Okehampton but can go pretty much anywhere!
Usually a lunch stop in Princetown - using the library car park as a base. Paul, if you're there, look for a pair of Bobbers parked side by side!

Ah, that's a whole other walk Wayne, in the bottom of that Valley is one of the 3 Ancient Oak Woods on Dartmoor Black-a-Tor Copse (the other 2 being Piles Copse on the South Moor and the very well known Whistman's Wood just outside of 2 Bridges). I have been down there on a couple of occasions and it is a splendidn old wood but my preference is for thee open moor so I don't always go down there. It's a steep and rocky clamber and, I think, better when it's a bit wetter so the river can feature as well.
