About trip
Notes on provisional route
- First ascent of Brown Willy (for fun) and to take a SW/S line to Butter's Tor to try and avoid bogs (reports suggest this can get very wet)
- Skipped Carkees Tor, Carbilly and Hawks Tor (bit too out of the way especially staying on open access land)
- Skipped Trekinnick Tor and Trewint Tor as no easy route across river from Bray Down without taking the road / ford. Chose Leskernick instead with some interesting ancient settlements on south side.
