A short while ago we had the first dusting of winter snow over Dartmoor.  The weather forecast had promised a couple of days of cold temperatures with a strong likelihood of snow.   That was all the justification I needed to throw the tent in the truck and head towards Princetown with little planning.

Black Tor on Dartmoor lies just South of Princetown on the B3212.  It's not a large Tor, in fact, it's a rather small, non-descript Tor easily missed as its set back off the road just over the brow of a hill.  It's on a rise and stands just a little higher than the surrounding landscape so offers some nice views.
