nice video ,my grandfather worked in the quarry and lived there with my grandmother when there was a block of 3 terraced houses and my mum use to take us there on the bus from crapstone to visit them very hard job and he had hands the size of dinner plates ,very hard life he retired in late 60s and moved to torquay .
Hi Tom, love your infectious enthusiasm, plus your camera skills. The images are great, having fairly recently moved to Devon I want to get up to Dartmoor to get some good images, but I need some wet weather kit, what make of coat and over trousers do you use? 😊
Thank you very much! And good to hear your keen to get up to Dartmoor aswell. My Waterproof coat is a slightly old Mammut one but it does a fantastic job of keeping me dry. I got mine off eBay but I'm confident any Mammut Waterproof is just as solid. My Trousers are from O'Neil but they are certainly not as waterproof as my coat. But I'm sure that Regatta/Craghoppers will have some decent ones, and just as important is Re Waterproofing them after a bit of use just to give the Waterproofing fabric a top up. I Hope that helps and thanks for your comment!
Nice landscapes 🙂👍
Nice one Tom. Looking forward to the big adventure next week.
Thank you, It'll be a good one!

Nice video and images Tom. Looking forward to next weeks at Rame.
Cheers Len, have a great weekend!
Great video as usual. I hope to get over to Merrivale and the quarry soon, I can’t resist rusty sheds etc. Loved the pano too.
I had explored a few weeks earlier from when I had filmed and did have a quick walk around, very interesting and makes for some nice photos too!
I’m sure you know of Brian Northmore who also does a lot on Dartmoor, you remind me of a younger version, keep it up
Indeed I do! Brian is a great photographer and his added passion of explaining the in depth details about his photographs really makes him stand out.
