A good walk on a lovely day. Started from Harford, car park is closed and symbol removed from map but there is limited roadside parking by the church. Butterdon then Three Barrows.

Winter day at the end of May on Dartmoor should come as no surprise to me. The weather was savage. Still I made it up there. I didn't hang around for long on the top as the wind nearly blew me off back down to Ivybridge.

from Ivybridge centre, quick walk up, probably using route of 1994 LDWA Dartmoor 100 which started from the town. Gray December day, gray hills, grey coast but good to be out.

Staying with In Laws and extended family at Blackadon Barns for the Bank Holiday and needed a peaceful pre-breakfast walk! Very helpful chap mowing the golf course who pointed put the permissive path and suggested which way to go up the hill to get the best views.

My first (logged) trig point!! I know from experience that there are great views but too misty to see that morning! Easy walking distance from Ivybridge. Glad to be able to say that I beat my old Dad (Dart More) to this one!

Great Views from here! The top part has been replaced with a material in blue, and the plug has been concreted over. Of the four holes in the bottom, three were filled in/plugged over, only one was as normal. The S was above the number.

We'll be lucky to get a better day than this before Xmas, and in the midst of such rainstorms too! Cracking hour long walk having parked at the end of the bridlepath N of Ivybridge. Got to the top, kicking myself for forgetting my camera, then was reminded by my daughter on my mobile that I was holding one - DOH! Too late for any close-ups but this view is from the neighbouring Western Beacon, just after I was buzzed by an old Westland Scout helicopter. 2nd visit on 19 Feb 2023 as part of a 6-mile circular walk from the road to its West (Harford Moor CP is closed btw). Beautiful day, the harbinger of Spring but I do feel 18 years older!
