Easter Hikes Dartmoor 2007

PHOTOS (continued)

First aid in action, ticks can be quite a problem The car park across the road from the Two Bridges is one of our regular stops.
A sunny place for a picnic lunch The hikers are checked frequently to make sure everything is ok.
This is the camp site where the Explorers share the field with the sheep The older group camped on the edge of another forest.
Washing up still has to be done, even on a hike.
Some of the group decided to run across this field to the trees Can you spot who has gone, they are the little black dots.
Looks like someone chose the wrong route. All packed up for the next section of the hike.
The fantastic weather as we waited for the first group to finish He does not know what marigolds are really for, does he?
With Haytor in the background...... .....what a fantastic place for an investiture
This is proof that you need to wear two pair of socks ..... .....and you need to break in your boots before wearing them for a hike.
Otherwise you may have to resort to this as a way of getting around. Firelighting always attracts attention
Don't they look a happy bunch More firelighting !
Lets go for a walk. Making sandwiches for lunch.
Time to strike camp He looks glad to have finished.
It is in here somewhere The 50k hike ended at Buckfastlleigh Abbey
After lunch at the Abbey it is time to head back to Uxbridge The traffic was as bad as ever on the return journey back to Uxbridge so refreshment was needed at a motorway services.
