The favourite haunt of WITC is without doubt the area of Watern Tor, Stone Tor and Kes Tor. We were delighted to take advantage of a window in the weather and return there on a recent walk.
Its a special place for us because of its unusual granite formations, its extensive views and its distance from WITC's home. I don't think we would be so fond of the place, if it were just down the road.
Parking below Kes, taking the grassy route towards Fernworthy forest before heading North across the Teign near Manga Rails. Up to Watern and the Thirlstone, which is amazing piece of geology up close, then descending to Scorhill Circle and down the road towards Gidleigh.
A track leads through the woods here, past Gidleigh Tor hidden in the trees, over the Teign again, and up to the car.
It was a successful letterbox walk too. 34 boxes found, and one first-in-a-book.

Nice shot of Watern Tor at the top. I love that track which passes below Wild Tor and joins up with the Hangingstone/Cosdon route. Running heaven!
