There is something very therapeutic and inspiring about watching Trev out on Dartmoor. As an avid Dartmoor walker and wild camper myself I still learn so much about the area from watching these. Also when I can’t get out and about they are my go to videos for my Dartmoor fix!

Great video and stunning location, one of the best on Dartmoor! Those Tors on the Tavy Cleave ridge are.....Tavy Cleave North-East Tor(lower), Tavy Cleave North-East Tor(higher), Tavy Cleave North Tor, Sharp mTor(Tavy Cleave) and Tavy Cleave South Tor.............proper mouthful! I walked them a few weeks ago, really epic!

Superb. A Summit or Nothing " Never Mind the Tussocks" tour. The landscape reminds me of Stonesdale (just north of Keld on the North Yorkshire Moors, where I did a week of geological surveying). You have to admire the efforts of those who built that leat. As ever, all the best

Hi Trev I'm the chap you met on the way. ( Looks like I was right about it being a bit boggy, I have seen it worse! ) captured the walk really well. I have done it myself. Has a little chuckle I always end up on the wrong side of the leet then begining 😂. Glad I got my photography and filming in early before the wild swimmers turned up. Never seen it so busy.

As I understand it: Dartmoor, like a lot of the SW, was pushed up by a gigantic batholith more than 300 million years ago (an upwelling of magma that mostly failed to break through the surface but pushed the land on top up out of the sea). On Dartmoor the magma failed to break through and form volcanoes, instead it cooled to form columns of granite underground. Over the course of ~280 million years the overlying 2-3km of softer sandstone and shale eroded away leaving the plugs of granite behind. As the pressure and weight of the eroded rock eased the granite plugs expanded, leading to the horizontal cracks almost like springs with the weight removed. These cracks were then widened by the hot and humid weather (at the time the land was close to the equator) and acids from rotting plants around 60-30 million years ago. The continent then drifted northwards over the next 30 million years, exposing it to further erosion during last Ice Ages (2 million - 10,000 years ago).
