Great Staple Tor - a photo on Flickriver

Great Staple Tor

We visited for the first time a few weeks ago on a circular hike taking in Roos Tor and White Tor as well. It was one of those days which promised sunshine and decent temperatures but Dartmoor does have its own micro-climate and arriving at the car park we were greeted by storm-like gusts. Of course we did not pack anything for colder or windy weather so the first half of the walk I tried to convince the rest of the family that it will get better at some point - thankfully it eventually did and while we could not really enjoy the magnificent rock formations of Great Staple Tor for very long (that was still part of the windy and chilly parts of the walk), the rest of the walk provided some fabulous locations and memories!

For anyone interested, here a video of the entire walk (including terrible sound from the wind): youtu.be/PZxhDGSQlUk
