    A walk I always wanted to do, but age caught up with me, thank you Trev. I've walked quite a bit of the south moor but it didn't quite match up to the north. I love the whole of Dartmoor full stop.

    Hi, great film! It was my partner and I who met you ... thanks so much for capturing some of our trek across the moor 👍 ... and we didn’t see any adders 🐍 it was lovely to meet you 😀

    I think alot of people are thinking the same Trevor.. Boris may have lifted restrictions on exercise and travelling within England, but I, like you and many others are still not travelling.. Great video as usual.. 👍👍

    • @SummitOrNothing
      @SummitOrNothing  4 года назад +4

      Yep, old Boris making it as clear as mud. He probably made the ridiculous 'unlimited travel' rule because he saw the Dominic Cummings scandal coming 😂.

    We are just stopping local as well, for another couple of weeks, got a couple of quiet, flat walks at are about 10 miles away, so may do a couple of these this week. Loved the shot of and the shout of 'Summit or Nothing' at the top - great views all around. Adders on a hot sunny day on the Moors is always a bit of a worry, especially when you are on your todd. I always wear boots but Mrs Metalman prefers her walking saddles, which is an additional worry, I must remember to tell her to stomp, next time we are on the Moors. Real nice walk out and good to hear there were no mare radical comments lol! Favourite photo have to be the dog looking at the Bluebells by Izzy S. Cheers Alan

    • @SummitOrNothing
      @SummitOrNothing  4 года назад +1

      Cheers Alan, glad that you have some decent walks near you, its best to keep it local whist we still can. Thanks for wtaching, and yeah, get your lady stomping in the longer grass and it scares them before you reach them. Still eerie though. Thanks for watching!

    @Deketh 4 года назад +1

    Brilliant stuff. I'm going insane at home so these kinda vids help. Just can't wait til I get out camping again - I love a hike and have been on a few local ones but just not quite the same experience for me as walking into the actual wilderness and spending the night. Thanks Trev!

    • @SummitOrNothing
      @SummitOrNothing  4 года назад +1

      I hear that, Chris - I can't wait to get back out for a camp too. Soon, I hope... soon.... until it all locks down again for the round two 😞

      Cheers Gareth - I sometimes leave off the soundtrack but sometimes it suits it better - this was one of the latter (especially as there was a lot of wind noise too) Thanks for watching!

    Me and two of my dogs walked from our house - Meldon - Yes tor (via the south,the lungs were burning let me tell you😥)- Willhays then to Black down passed the camp on Sunday we covered 9.5 miles. A beautiful 3 and a half hours very well spent.
    Keep well and thanks for the upload i look forward to the next one.👏🏼👍👍👍
    Adders! I am man enough to say that they frighten the bejesus out of me......🤣😂🤣😂

    • @SummitOrNothing
      @SummitOrNothing  4 года назад +1

      I'm really getting to know this area well, Max - and I think the passion shows when you know what you're on about. One day maybe I will see the Big Horn mountains too. Stay safe Max!

      @SummitOrNothing  4 года назад +1

      Yeah, they are creepy little b******s haha. I saw two in one day on the coast path once, but the strangest part of that was that about half an hour before the first sighting I thought to myself... 'all this walking and I have never seen an adder'..... Wishful thinking?! Cheers for watching!

    I did a circular route of Shelstone Tor’s,Branscombe Loaf,Kitty Tor,Green Tor,Bleak House,Dunna Goats,Great Links Tor and back to the car via Sourton Tor’s last Thursday....absolutely stunning up there and good for the soul to be back out on the Moor. I must admit I drove from the north of Plymouth ( not a long drive ) and kept away from everyone. It was good to get my fix at last. Great vid....as usual👍🏻

    • @SummitOrNothing
      @SummitOrNothing  4 года назад +1

      That does sound like a great little walk, there. I may have to revisit this area myself at some point soon. About ten minutes in the car for me to get to Sourton. Great you managed to get out. Stay safe and thanks for watching!

  • @WalksWithOlly
    @WalksWithOlly 4 года назад

    I share your fear of adders, Trev! I often try to remind myself that they probably hear us coming long before we might see them... Then I see a photo on Facebook from someone's who got up close to them "basking in the sun" on a rock somewhere!! I only knowingly seen one and that was on the edge of a village, where something in the shadow moved, hissed and thankfully continued away from me!
    Thanks for another good video. Good to see other people about on the moor as well. All the best!

    • @SummitOrNothing
      @SummitOrNothing  4 года назад +1

      Yea, I think they tend to not want to see us - I saw two in one day on the coast path before and they were quick to escape - but they can give a nasty bite if you surprise one so, I decided stomping was the best way to deter them as I had momentarily slipped off the beaten track. Take care Olly and thanks for watching!

  • @kenhenley7599
    @kenhenley7599 4 года назад

    Great vid Trev, thanks for sharing. I’ve made the same mistake myself from High Willhays to Lints down that valley. What a nightmare that was. Hopefully popping up to High Willhays again tomorrow morning to catch the sunrise. Should be a stunner! I’ll send you a photo. Oh and I’ve planned my South North walk as well ready for when Boris gives the green light for wild camping again. Hopefully I’ll get to see you up there some time but in the meantime, please keep them coming.

    • @SummitOrNothing
      @SummitOrNothing  4 года назад

    lol, stop apologising, the South Moor is bleak! Ignore offended people. I saw that trek you did with the chest-high hillocks, that was a chaotic landscape. And the moor tends to be more lacking in tors near the centre/south. More dramatic east/west, more crowded in east.
