I've only ever camped at one location on Dartmoor. Recommended to me by a teacher many years ago; Lucky Tor, any of you folks stayed there? It's stayed a special place for me in my mind, many fond memories! As kids we were dropped off at Dartmeet, and left on our own, sometimes for up to a week camping at and around lucky tor, we had superb times! We spent some time up there and seen some funny things! I would have been happy with seeing a beast of Dartmoor at that age but we had spontaneous rock climbers of the Tor itself, a couple of nudist archers walk through camp and then one other time another couple pitched up 100m from our tent, but they still kept us awake with their nightly activities :eek: Thats wasnt all in one visit thank god.

I have a online gallery on my website of Lucky Tor, it's from many years ago, but probably the most fun visit I had:

Here is another gallery of Lucky Tor (2004 visit), just myself and girlfriend Claire:

This was Claire's first time camping out on the moors, and I had to take here there in the Winter :rolleyes: Theres some great photography in that last gallery (thanks to Claire) If anyone wants the images in full-resolution, PM me and I'll email them to you :)

I think this community is going to be a superb resource for me! Find new info on kit and places to stay. :) Cant wait to learn more! So Lucky Tor anyone?..
