 The legal scam to ban wild camping on Dartmoor has provoked outrage. I'm happy to say it has been been roundly condemned left, right and centre. I last traversed the moor back in 2012 and dug out a few photos to remind myself of the joys of wild camping.



A room with a view.

 
 

 On that visit I headed for the dank and mysterious Wistman's Wood.


 

 This extraordinary locale is a surviving fragment of temperate rainforest. NB see also my entry dated 8th. February 2017 for a more extensive description. 



  Dartmoor is mainly open country and remarkable for the presence of numerous standing stones, stone circles and stone rows.



They speak of an ancient significance now lost to us.
