Solo 15km walk over Dartmoor in January. Tavy Cleave & Fur Tor.

This was my very first attempt at making a walking video with some instructions on navigation. Also the first time on Dartmoor in over 40 years. The sole of my boot fell off in the middle of the moors and it all went a bit downhill from there.

I took the route from my OS Maps subscription, it was uploaded by Country Walking Magazine and rated as Difficult. It crosses the military firing ranges so you need to ensure that there are no red flags flying. Always check on 0800 458 4868 or www.gov.uk/government/publications/dartmoor-firing-programme before starting.
