Zoe Brookes, Marketing Manager, loves spending time on Dartmoor. Therefore, spending New Years day out on the moors with husband Stu, and black lab Benjie was perfect.

The start of a new year and on a mission to climb new Tors, Zoe thought it was a great way to start her new year's resolution to "keep fit."

Starting off from their cottage in Dartsmeet, they walked along the beautiful River Dart to Postbridge. From there, up through Bellever Forest and up to Bellever Tor. It was a very windy day but on top of the Tor they managed to find the perfect sheltered spot to have lunch and admire the views followed by a photo opportunity for the photo album.

From here it was across to the second Tor of the day, Laughter Tor then across the moors back to Dartsmeet, just in time for tea and cake at Badgers Holt Coffee Shop, in Zoe's opinion the best carrot cake on Dartmoor.

A fantastic 10 mile circular walk enjoying a lovely stretch of riverside walking, high moorland and pretty valleys.

Further details of this walk can be found at go4awalk.com 

Zoe plans to climb many more Tors this year, to recommend a walk or to share your favourite Tor walks with us please email blog@brasher.co.uk
