Absolute slog on basket grass with unmarked paths when approached from Three Barrows via the River Erme and Langcombe Hill. Probably more pleasant when taken in on the pathed route from Shell Top.

I walked from Cornwood via Penn Beacon. It felt like in the middle of nowhere up in the clouds. Quite a remote and proper Dartmoor place.

I parked at SX57023-63189 then walked E and around the clay works, from there on to moorland and up to Shell Top then over to Penn Beacon, before returning via Shell Top and along to Lee Moor pillar - Pillar is in good condition - wet and windy so not a lot of views, great walk all the same.

It's remote and the views are good but not as dramatic as on the sides of the hills. I approached from Yealm Head which was a bit of a slog, but nonetheless I enjoyed the solitude. The flush bracket is in pretty good condition considering how exposed this spot is.

My second trig of the day. Why so close to Penn Beacon yet out of sight of it?

Nice remote feel to this trig. Bagged after the Penn Beacon pillar. Foundations exposed; original cap retained, lightly indented lettering; BSM-style FB; all sight holes open. Misty moorland views.

Great Trig in the middle of nowhere! Surrounded by a muddy moat which was sadly a watery grave for a pony. Still managed to fly this trig!

Set in dampish hollow in peat moor its concrete surface home to mosses and lichens. East wind, starting to rain. Moorland peat and grass very dry.

Sadly moat too deep and just too windy for his lordship to assume his usual position atop the pillar

Managed to choose an excellent day to make the trek from Rook Gate up here for geocaches and the couple of trig points. Difficult to mark scenery grade, depends if one likes the tranquility of Dartmoor!

Pretty boggy all around. Difficult ground onwards to Hen Tor, long steep climb up from Cornwood. Good views to the south east... you can see the spoil heap at Redlake to the east.

This trig followed Penn Beacon on an early morning run through the mist with Dart More. Rough and muddy terrain coupled with the very poor visabiltity resulted in Dart More slipping over several times in a very amusing fashion! Normally has good views but was hindered by mist.

This trig is starting to look its age. The base is now very exposed and even has its own moat! We came up from the SsW across Penn Moor, bagged Penn Beacon on the way back down.

Peat erosion around base appears to be getting worse. Generally good condition with plug still in place.
