Dartmoor hovers at the edge of almost every Devon view, drawing the gaze up towards those high tor-encrusted open spaces. The pull is strong, and Tim Gent's book is written for all walkers answering the call. Introducing Dartmoor, its geology, archaeology, weather, flora and fauna, this book offers advice on when and how to visit, clothing to wear, kit to take and guidance on safe travel. Setting out onto the moor itself, thirty routes are included, ranging in length from 4km to over 80km. Multi-day journeys make the most of permitted wild camping opportunities, and Tim's book also considers the gear and decisions needed to make the most of these overnight stays.
About the AuthorTim lives in Devon, not far from the north edge of Dartmoor. He has also lived on the moor, working at various interesting locations up there over the years. On almost every walk across Dartmoor, and further afield, Tim has been accompanied by his wife Susannah, which is why she appears in so many photographs in this book. If Tim is in view, Susannah was behind the camera.
