Here are some #TreesInExmoor which I photographed on my #DulvertonToTarrSteps #hike at the weekend. I selected them basically on their aesthetic profiles and so the selection is necessarily subjective. They’re presented with little to no commentary.

By the time we’d got back to our car on the #DulvertonToTarrSteps, I was basically spent for the day. Just one thing remained. #Dulverton is only about 10 km from #WimbelballReservoir. This #ArtificalLake was formed by the construction of a #dam. It’s not really remarkable except that this is the reservoir that feeds my home #city and so I just stopped off there to see it. You can see that it also provides recreational facilities.
The return leg of the #hike from #DulvertonToTarrSteps was significantly longer in terms of distance as it followed a meandering river on its way to #Dulverton. Here are some interesting and noteworthy features of the journey.
The planned destination and scheduled break for our #DulvertonToTarrSteps #hike were the #TarrSteps themselve. On the approach, we encountered some wild #ExmoorPonies, which roam wild over the #moor. They are a distinct breed from the #DarmoorPonies that I am more familiar with owing to their geographical isolation.
My aim for the #DulvertonToTarrSteps #hike was to avoid roads as much as possible. Of course, this is an unachievable dream and we found ourselves walking along side a #road, without #footpath by it. You just have to keep alert and walk on the right side o the road. Most #drivers and #riders are fairly considerate and will slow down and give you plenty of space.
For the #walking trip from #DulvertonToTarrSteps, I planned it using and #OrdnanceSurveyMap or #OSMap. I prefer using these tried-and-trusted methods for #hiking since they are less prone to #TechonolgyFailures and it forces you to consider what you will encounter, rather than always be looking at your #mobile.
