DofE Gold Expedition practice route, Dartmoor

For our DofE practise expedition we went off to Dartmoor.

I can't remember much about where we went ... however we camped over night on the moor.

In the general manner of things, after supper, we headed off to the pub ... a five mile walk down the road...  a night on the scrumpy and a stumble back to the campsite, it was not long before the mischievous nature came to the fore and we started a fire on one of the large boulders - taking care to make sure it could not spread .. just as well, because after an hour or so the fire brigade turned up to fight the fire ... they were soon persuaded to join in and share the carry outs.

The next day was hard to get out of the tents after the late night ...  then off to the remains of the fire and make sure it was out.

another day where I have no clue of the route.
