On the recommendation of one of our Moderators, I decided to give Foggin Tor a go with Flo and the Family.

The route we took (Kind of)

Our start point in the car park looks wetter than it was.

Foggin Tor itself was our first objective (I didn't realise we were going around in reverse)

Our first obstacle before we got to the Tor

Walking around the top of Foggin Tor

Sheep alert !

Around the other side of Foggin Tor is a disused Quarry.

Of course the boys needed a closer look.

Pit stop half way round (Flo doesn't do bowls on walks Rolling Eyes )

We came across this tent in a stream, the lads checked it out just in case, with Flo worried about her boys.

The walk should have been about 2 1/2 hrs but we took a wide route to the Tower on the map and didn't realise that some of the Tors are small groups of boulders (We were looking for hills  doh ), so it took us just under 3 hrs.

Hope you enjoyed & thanks for looking.
