There are many hazards ready to catch the unwary and unprepared on #Dartmoor, from wild ponies, to bogs, and so on. #TinMining used to be a significant industry in the area and so there are many #DisuedMines around. Most are marked on the map, like this one but some can still catch you out. Luckily, this one is fenced off and I don’t know how deep that shaft goes.

The never-ending search for the truth!

Evidence of historic tin mining activity at Brimpts North Mine on Dartmoor. Setting off to clear vegetation from Huccaby Ring with Dartmoor Preservation Association volunteers. Bright but chilly.
