All the Tors
Author: E. P. Woodhouse
Publisher: Travelling Lines Press
ISBN: 9781916034112
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Dartmoor. 119 tors over 10 days. 300km. Solo. "Never did I imagine that I would have trouble finding the tors. This was supposed to be an endurance challenge, not a navigational one." To mark Dartmoor Rescue's 50th Anniversary and her 25th year on the planet, Emily Woodhouse sets out on a solo expedition across Dartmoor. Boldly independent, she should have all the experience she needs from Dartmoor Rescue, mountain leading and 15 years of living on the moors. Although she has never walked so far for so long or wild camped alone before. Never mind that she can barely lift her over-packed rucksack. But when horrendous weather sets in, Emily realises that a pleasantly strenuous challenge has turned into a survival mission. Battling forwards against the elements, she crosses the backdrop of her childhood, haunted by feeling so connected to this landscape and yet still being an outsider. As the tor count clocks up, Emily wrestles with the rules she's set herself and the fine line between strong willed and stupid. Expect fog, bog and a personal journey towards belonging.

High Dartmoor, Land and People
Author: Eric Hemery
Publisher: Robert Hale
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1096
Book Description
This book about England's last great wilderness, as it is often called, is a systematic topographical and historical survey of Dartmoor by watersheds, and the first to deal comprehensively with the region since the celebrated guide of 1908 by William Crossing. Every river country has its map showing courses and names of even the smallest tributary streams. Authentic place-names are featured in the book, their origin in usage and tradition being traced back wherever possible. High Dartmoor traces the formation of the great granite upland from its inception as molten magma to the heather-cloaked moorland we know today, on which the first settlers built their homes and monuments nearly four thousand years ago. Something of the mystery, enigma and drama of this vast and remarkable moorland, and certainly its atmosphere, sound an echo in these pages, and the lives of the moormen and their families over several centuries are described in detail. explanation is given of every type of feature described in the text, and the illustrated note on the physical pattern of the valleys, which makes clear that, far from being an expanse of moorland conceived in a haphazard fit by nature, Dartmoor is possessed of a physical symmetry. Never before has the Moor been meticulously recorded in word and picture. High Dartmoor will remain for a long time to come the definitive work on the subject.
