Badger's Holt and Bronze-Age Grimspound, Dartmoor, Devon - 10th August 2016

After a couple of days camping with Sean, Michelle and the gang, we're off over the moor to Grandma J's in Spreyton, with a stop on the way to see Grimspound, the ancient Bronze-age settlement on the edge of Dartmoor, and have a walk up to the nearby Hookney Tor. Before that, we stop off at one of Nosher's old Polytechnic-days haunts - Badger's Holt - in the southern half of Dartmoor, and then there's a stop off to climb the rocks at Combestone Tor.
