That area is still used for military training today but if I told you what for, I would have to kill you and eat you. 😉
Rough Tor is still on my shopping list - it is just a bit too far for a normal trip
A Merlin dropped two groups of RMs onto Dartmoor on Friday. That was interesting to watch. Chatted with one group not long after the drop, as they got their bearings. Couple of young lasses in it.
Never seen any military around Rough tor, since I did my basic training in that area. Not walked there after dark much though.
It's a pretty small moor I've walked up from minions and back in a day twice now. Much quicker going than Dartmoor, due to the abundance of sheep and ponies keeping the vegetation cropped.
Today was just a short training walk. I took a flask of tea but didn't even stop to drink it, as the tops were lost in cloud. So I just took the opportunity to give my legs and lungs a good busting before I'm back sat in my study all day again tomorrow.
