    Just found your channel and subscribed, this film brought back so many memories. Near the cave was my first camp with my dad. It wasn't called "wild" camping back in 1970 when I was about 5 years old. The cave last time I went in it had a bat roosting in the ceiling. Cuckoo rock, my first siting of an adder many , many years ago.

    My dad worked for the counsel that pulled sheep out the rivers fun fact 1. My dad had waiders that were wool and leather and came up to his neck so while the others were freezing he was warm fun fact 2. Sometimes the sheep would bloat in the water and when pulled out they would pop from the stomach

    Hi Shamus. Lovely video and a plethora of interesting Dartmoor facts and features. I love all the ancient underground chambers and I had the pleasure of scrambling down Grant’s Pot back in July on a Wildcamp. If you are ever back in West Cornwall go and visit my favourite Fogou out at Carn Euny. You won’t be disappointed! ATVB Graham
