Crossing Dartmoor

Can you hike across the length of Dartmoor in a long weekend? This is what we googled at 6pm the day before setting off on a last minute adventure to the Devonshire national park.

Setting off from Ivybridge at 4:30pm, we arrived in Okehampton 48 hours later and with 62km travelled. Along the way we saw countless sheep, ponies and cows, and had a cracking bbq by the river.

A hiker walks ahead of the camera silhouetted by afternoon sun ahead. There’s tufty grass all around and no clear path.

A small tent and a tarp are set up next to each other at night. The camera is close to the ground looking at them, with stars visible in the sky. The left of the frame is bright orange from a nearby fire. There’s trails of sparks crossing the frame from the fire.
