19:03:23 Just after we arrived on the moor, we thought we'd get out of the car and enjoy the lovely scenery.
19:04:02 I'm trying to convey how happy I am at being on Dartmoor again, however in reality it looks like I've escaped from a lunatic asylum.
19:05:35 I'm rather pleased with this picture of Chie and and her long shadow.
19:43:39 A little further down the road, just as the sun was starting to set...
19:44:05 ...we could see hot air ballons from Tavistock Balloon Festival (whatever it's called)... A bit difficult to make out here as they're so far away - but trust me, that's what all those little specks are.
19:44:21 A ballon ascending into the heavens...
19:44:31 More balloons, and a lovely layered effect from increasingly darkening hills.
19:46:38 That sky again.
19:56:38 From the car, still we could see more balloons.
20:13:52 This is in Tavistock, it's a shame about the lighting (not my camera's strong point) but still, this must be a pretty unique shot.
07:10:45 The next morning, Chie awakens after a luxurious stay in the Hotel Corsa.
07:11:35 The River Dart, just by where we stayed.
07:38:08 It was really nice to be up and on the moor at this time of the morning...
07:38:18 The scenery is just so lovely around here! It's a bit hazy, so maybe hard to appreciate in these pictures...
07:40:21 I am not looking at my tidiest here...!
07:40:58 Chie, seemingly having wrestled the camera off me...
07:41:24 Certainly there was plenty of bracken about.
08:37:48 Not even 9 o' clock and we're already out for a walk. I decided to show Chie Wistman's Wood, as I was rather fond of it, and it wasn't too far to walk from the road.
08:38:03 It's a very unique place...
08:47:25 I was telling Chie about how Russ had managed to get some pictures of a fairly normal wood exhibited, and how frustrating it was that even in these surrounds I couldn't get a picture I was satisfied with...
08:47:34 It's all about moss and trees.
08:48:57 The more I look at this tree, the more I think it looks like a person... but then I can't help but think there might have been some human intervention in this process.
08:52:04 Chie enjoying the surrounds.
08:52:16 More trees really...
08:53:00 Me looking a bit tired and unfit.
08:54:20 A significant looking rock.
08:54:36 A close-up on the moss and lichen, for those that way inclined.
09:02:06 Chie on a sty.
11:08:24 In Widdecombe (yes, the one from the song), we stopped at the Wayside cafe for a toasted sandwich, and were joined by this chirpy little fellow...
11:08:54 ...He didn't seem in the slightest bit bothered by our presence. Usually getting the camera out does the trick of getting birds to fly away, but even this didn't phase him.
12:39:35 Following a sign, we though we'd go and see the Fernworthy Reservoir, partly as I thought I'd been there before...
12:39:41 ...actually it turned out I hadn't, and the reservoir was disappointingly man made and a bit boring. Should have been called the unworthy reservoir.
12:40:37 Still there was no reason not to try skimming stones across it. Chie seems to have a knack for these action shots. After this, we went to Belstone, and failed to find a tearoom I'd once been to, then went on to Okehampton to buy the mandatory clotted cream in the Waitrose there, and then drove home.
