Details

A roughly 10 mile loop, starting at prewley moor car park, we'll head out towards black-a-tor-copse, which is very similar to the more famous wistmans wood, before then climbing up to Black Tor it's self which has some stunning views over the valley.
We'll then climb up, via fordstlands ledge, to Highwillhays and Yes Tor, (the two highest points on Dartmoor) , where we'll stop for some lunch.
After that we'll follow the army tracks down again, over the top of West Mill tor, & onwards to Black Down tor, then into the Old Meldon quarry, before crossing the dam and picking up the granite way back to the cars.

This route very varied in terrain, some uneven ground and reasonable climbs, also, if there's been some rain, the ground can be quite saturated in parts, and particularly the track down from west mill, so good boots required.

Car park is free, and is just a long road with gravel spaces either side. Frustratingly it doesn't seem to be searchable on google maps any more, so use this link for navigation: https://maps.app.goo.gl/JCfUJddPCsdbmGaw8
(The event pin is also in the correct spot)
