As we were close to the East side of the Moor, and with time to spare, we took advantage of the recent settled weather and took a short hike around Haytor Rocks and Bagtor Down. We even indulged in the guilty pleasure of scrambling to the summit of Low Man via the steps and iron handrail on it's South-East side.We typically would have avoided the area on a weekend, but were surprised to see just a handful of climbers roped up and picking routes up the Haytor massif opposite, and few others.
We've always enjoyed exploring the area around the Haytor Quarries, and across the road around the headwaters of the Lemon. We found the Boxes were on site, and receiving regular visits.
With just 5 miles covered and 12 boxes found, we can't wait to spend a little longer on the moor in mid October. Reports are suggesting that our box Rangale of Deer - Broad Down is in need of attention. So a few walks on the North moor beckon.
