Day 6: Bellever Forest

We went to a place called Bellever forest in Dartmoor today. On the way there we saw some semi-wild pony's whom are let out by there owners, the farmers, to graze most of the year.





We trekked through the woodland which was muddy and wet but doable. We came across some fallen trees blocking the path and had to climb over it, and had to give a running jump for the ten year old German Shepherd dog. 

Once we got out of the wooded area we saw some more pony's.You can also see Bellever Tor which we hiked up to. The walk/hike up to the Tor was a bit wet, because it was like a marsh land, only because it had been raining that day.

When we got to the Tor we climbed up to the top where we found a triangulation point (trig point for short). 
It was rainy and really windy on top of the Tor but the view was great. And we sheltered under some rocks for a bit.




Well that was are first tree infested day, I wonder if we will be seeing any more woodland tomorrow.......
