From SE, Clapper Bridge, Longaford Tor, Higher White Tor, Brown's House Top, Postbridge, back along road, mostly intact line of benchmarksRHW15/04/2022
From Okehampton - Belstone Tor, East Mill Tor, Steeperton Tor, Hound Tor, Hangingstone Hill, Black Hill, Cut Hill, Brown's House Top, Higher White Tor and Longaford Tor. Camped near the top of Longaford Tor before descending to Princetown from where I added South Hessary Tor while waiting for the bus. 41.5km, much of it boggy, tussocky, pathless toil in unrelenting rain and wind. Highlight was getting the tent up, changing into dry clothes and crawling into my sleeping bag.Herbert Anchovy07/08/2021

Visible from Higher White Tor. Easy grass walking but limited tracks between them so allow about 45 minutes. If lost aim for the ruins of Brown's House and follow the sheep tracks upwards from it.moorsman21/08/2014
