Matt's Allotment and Meldon Hill, Chagford, Devon - 26th December 2007

Shortly after the Boxing Day hunt rides off from Chagford's market place on to the moor, we head over to have a look at Matt's new allotment, on the outskirts of the town. Later, it's time for a vigorous walk up to Meldon Hill, which is almost-but-not-quite a proper Dartmoor tor. The views over Chagford are excellent, and the weather even holds out.
