Today the weather was far better than forecast so when I woke up I headed to Dartmoor with my housemates for an afternoon walk in the beautiful scenery and stunning weather that Dartmoor had to offer.

I haven’t walked on Dartmoor in the day time since Ten Tors training when I was in sixth form at school and my lasting memory of it from then was just of constant rain, and when I went last year it was in the night time for a joint training with mountain rescue and cave rescue so for obvious reasons I couldn’t see much! So it was great to be out today and be able to appreciate Dartmoor in the excellent albeit cold weather.

The walk was timed really well and as we were walking down the ridge back to the car the sun was setting and providing us with beautiful golden light.
