In reply to Dan Bailey - UKHillwalking.com:
That's a good route. Nice change from the usual head up Cosdon Beacon from South Zeal.
Can't count the number of times I have sat and enjoyed the peace and quite at Cranmere pool. I find it a magical spot. The Ted Hughes Memorial close by is another I love. Also close by is the Cist at White Horse Hill. Well worth reading up on.

Fur tor has to be one of the most popular targets for any Dartmoor regular. It's a fun spot, plenty of shelter and an easy scramble to the top. Also a few climbing routes up if you take a rope. If your walking in from Tavy Cleave it's a very pretty walk. Just check the river levels, as Sandy Ford, over the Tavy, can be past knee deep on the wrong day and it flows quite quickly there when it's full.

The easiest route in is probably from Postbridge, but the Tavy route is my favourite.
You have probably worked out I spend many happy days on Dartmoor each year. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
