Dartmoor
Saturday 11th February 2023
Got the train down to Okehampton, and was up on the moor not long after 2pm. Walked to White Moor Stone Circle and set up camp there for the night.

On the train from Exeter to Okehampton - I thought Crediton station looked nice.

First glimpses of Dartmoor.

Following the East Okement river from Okehampton up onto the moor.

13:50:10
This would have been a very nice walk all by itself.

On Dartmoor now, and rather delighted to be here.

Open moorland before me.

14:58:22
I wouldn't normally take quite so many selfies but I was trying to get a picture for the "thumbnail" of the YouTube video I was making.

15:39:18
Nice silvery light in the sky at this point.

Stones, an old Bronze Age settlement I think, but not yet a stone circle.

15:46:14

15:50:11
Still a very nice spot in its own way.

Decided to set up my tent in the middle of the stone circle. Nice to catch the sun just before it disappeared behind the hill here.

17:10:15

17:10:21
A bit hard to get the horizon straight though!

17:10:29
The horizon is straight here!

17:17:43
Tried opening up the awning on my tent.

17:18:11
Trying to get more thumbnails, but once again couldn't get the horizon straight.

17:18:35

17:18:54
That's not bad I guess.

This evening's wine.

17:34:03
...on the silly little table.

Tonight's dinner: Japanese curry.

19:22:31
After dinner wine.

19:24:59
Dark now!

Managed to do a little bit of night photography. Didn't have a tripod with me so it's not great but hopefully you get the idea.
