Read other logs beforehand as wasn’t sure about venturing onto the Moor where no obvious paths were shown on the map. Parked at Meldon Reservoir car park (£3 for three hours £5 for longer, but machine only seemed to accept coins and could only find £3). Headed east across reservoir wall through gate then straight up steep hill to cut corner of path which headed south then north. Around the north end of Longstone Hill, south until reaching flatter ground to east and then took a fairly direct easterly route towards high ground. Mixed terrain, some worn paths to begin with then started to climb along what appeared to be paths but were water courses. Showers were not far away and looked like they were closing in a couple of times, a little rain but luckily moved on. Reached a rocky outcrop which was a false summit, the Tor was another three or four hundred metres further east. Pillar came into view from about a hundred metres away. Onto rocks and views were absolutely fantastic, all directions. Bristol Channel visible to north, High Willhays visible to south. Clear visibility at the time, had it to myself as well. Maybe a ten? Oh ok. Cap missing. From here headed south to High Willhays, highest point on Dartmoor, be rude not to. Again fantastic views, possibly the Channel was visible to the south but the distant horizon was just a bit hazy. Afterwards headed north then east to the old Target Railway to the east of West Mill Tor. Met a couple of other walkers on the way down to here. There’s a place for cars to park near here and would probably have been closer to walk from here. After the Target Railway headed west. Managed to cut across moorland, rocky, grassy, some sheep tracks, wanted to see Red-a-ven Pool. Found that then headed back to the Reservoir where I had started. Just over three hours walk in the end and car park was ok.

My second and last English Nuttall on Dartmoor and what a relief to put them to bed. Job done and returning to Lydford via Meldon reservoir and Sourton Tor. On a bit of a high and Devon is gifted Yes Tor. County keeps on giving with excellent train service, 118 bus, busy lived in village and perhaps one of the best pubs I have visited in a long time...Castle Inn.

Good walk up from Meldon Resv. Odd that for what must be a popular walk that the paths disappear and you finish up trudging across a bit of soggy moor. Never mind. Great trig and view - with the bonus for us southerners that, together with High Willhayes next door, it is the highest point in England south of the Peak District.

A rather windy walk up from Meldon Reservoir and low visibility from about the range boundary posts to the summit. A disappointing lack of views therefore. As I descended I met Nekyram on wind blasted Longstone Hill. It's good to read that they made it to the tor OK. As a former Devon lad, self exiled over fifty years ago, it was with great satisfaction that I finally got here and also to High Willhays.

Quite a high ranking in my experiences of potentially pointless and risky walks but what the heck it felt great later on once we and the camera had started to dry out. Strengthening winds making standing difficult - definitely a clamber up and hold tight. Worked out we'd already done the peak of Southern England mistakenly on the way to the tor instead of afterwards. Not sure whether I'd have found if more eerie without the cloud or not, worryingly warm and humid between the sharp squalls.

Long old slog from Bundu campsite on a good day for walking. Got very delayed by horrid, steep, gorse covered slope dropping down to the footbridge, but recovered to make reasonable time up to trig. Views clearly spectacular but dimmed by poor vis. Surprised on summit by wasps that seemed to emanate from nest in trig!! Beat hasty retreat, then lunched and legged it back the way we came.

The flagpole is bending a bit, the hut was uninhabited today and could see quite a long way though the weather was rather overcast. Walked up on the track from Okehampton Camp.

Walked up in good time from Meldon Car Park. Wind rising as we reached the pillar. Aerial probably something the army uses. Views not as good as last visit, which was 20 years ago - then the Saunton Hotel could be seen on the south side of Baggy Point on the north coast. Onwards to the Marilyn County Top - High Wilhays.

I parked at Meldon Reservior and walked over to this via West Mill Tor - then off to High Willhays to bag the county top. A steep and fairly tough walk, but well worth the effort - this is one of those with a wow factor. Two dam construction pillars if you park at Meldon Resr. tried to list them to no avail :(.

Boy it was grim up here today - so misty I could hardly see the flag post from the trig point and horizontal rain that was partly hail and stung my face like a sunovabytch. Another open spider - this one has a camera lens cap in it and some other unidentifiable junk beneath that too. Great location high on the outcrop. Walked along to High Willhays to bag county top which was much less interesting. Anyone else noticed the two wannabe trig points either side of the dam at Meldon?

Good views over Okehampton, where we stayed at the YHA, a converted train station building (station still in use) and lower ground to the north, and also across Dartmoor to the south and west. Weather was good for us. Having checked the military ranges were open for access, we walked up over Longstone Hill and continued on to High Willhays, returning via Black Tor - all very impressive country. Trig was in good condition also.

FB and open sight N side. Allen key cap in place. 2nd highest point in Southern England the highest is only 1km S. I guess the OS needed good views to N for their reason for putting the trig on Yes Tor. Good views all around, but noted that the ray to Cosdon Hill was obsured by cloud.

Trig all in tact. A wonderful December day for walking, mild with little breeze. My first real walk on Dartmoor and an excellent one it was too starting at Meldon Reservoir and from Yes Tor going south to High Whillays and in a horseshoe around to Sourton Tor trig, kicking myself for not spotting there is a trig on Great Links Tor which I walked very close to.

slightly startled when a friendly agent appeared from behind pony stable near summit pllar and passed on information. The range was being used for some military exercise, very bizzare to be allowed to walk through as no live firing was in progress, although soldiers were clearly on exercise with lots of bangs in the near distance.
