I was going to write a quick rundown of my recent trip to Dartmoor, but it looks like the chaps I went with over at the Vale Mountaineering club, Sean beat me to it! We had a great weekend, although, I have discovered my Berghaus pro mid rushes are not quite as waterproof as I was hoping after an extended bog hopping marathon taking in Brat Tor, Great Links Tor, Green Tor, Kitty Tor, Corn Ridge, Sourton Tors, Coombe Down and Great Nodden.

Even more of a shame is the fact that it looks like having sprained my ankle, I won’t be going to Snowdonia now on Bank Holiday weekend. I was hoping it would get better but I need to be realistic when my foot looks like this…..

A rather sprained ankle

I’ve knackered my ankle before, but never as badly as this, so I’m off to buy a wobble board and make sure I never lose a hill day again.
