I did a short #hike in #Dartmoor yesterday. The wind was gusting to over 70 km/h and it was sometimes difficult to stay upright. The weather was very changeable and so we made sure that we were prepared with full waterproof attire, a map in a transparent sealed waterproof case.and some food and hot drinks for this #winter #excursion. Even for a brief trip, perhaps an hour and a half in duration, planning is important. In the photograph you can see the #BirchTor which we'd just been on from a couple of km distance.

The #geology of this #NationalPark is based on the #exposure of #weathered #Granite and #Tors are #outcrops found at the summit of #hills.

I've just been reviewing some #photographs from a few years ago. Here is one of somewhere on #Dartmoor, near #Hexworthy. I like the rather bleak beauty of the place with scant but hardy vegetation in the exposed areas. The #geology is that of weathered #granite which develop into #tors.
