Having just come down from Rippon Tor, this was an easy bonus trig. Using a previous finder’s photograph, it was easy to identify the location. It needed some re-excavating but it was quickly found.

Of a little more significance to me than Erme Harrier - my 200th log since starting 18 months ago. I suppose I could have chosen a more auspicious one !

This is my first ever surface block and passive station visited. It would be nice to know how these are actually still used. The surface block was a very easy find, it is on the grass verge close to where there is a cattle grid after the road branches off.

A cow had, with perfect precision, dropped a cowpat right on top of it.

Luckily this SB had recently been uncovered. Easy location off a major (for Dartmoor) road junction. Much better views from the nearby Rippon Tor (TP5689).
