Anticlockwise loop from Meldon Reservoir via Black Tor, High Willhays and Yes Tor. Short steep ascent up Black tor and on to High Willhays. Wet, windy and boggy but not overly challenging. Lovely views at the start of the journey in particularmuzza217/03/2024
Parked at Okehampton Camp. Headed up the military road then cross country to the summit of West Mill Tor. A few tiny patches of snow left on this hill. Then on to Yes Tor where above 550metres there was still a covering of snow on the north eastern slopes. Visited trig and then across to the summit of High Willhays where there was a patchy covering. Although never known the ground as wet as this. Mostly dry with a bit of sun. Good views. Time taken 2 hours 45 minutes for 6.5 miles. Raven, Meadow Pipits, Stonechats seen.isabelle24/02/2024

Travelled from Kent to Plymouth to see Muse and broke up the drive with a stop off at Dartmoor. Parked at the reservoir and went cross country up, making sure to look out for skylark nests. Very few people around apart from a couple of walkers and some army guys at the top. Gorgeous day, over 30 degrees. Really liked this climb. Not too high, some obstacles but nit too many, and fantastic views. Flagpole at summit interesting.MysteriousSue27/05/2023

Ascended from Meldon Car Park, on the way to High Willhays. Quite steep, along grassy chalk paths. Yes Tor is the more popular summit and has more interesting features. There is also a small weather station. The views across Dartmoor to the south and west are stunning.hillbagger9123/08/2021

Climbed solo. Cloudy but mostly dry day except one light shower on ascent of Yes Tor and some drifting mist. Parked at Meldon Reservoir car park (£2 charge). Crossed dam and used the track which winds around Longstone Hill. At around 425m contour, I turned east for Yes Tor summit, following initially an indistinct path. The summit has a flag pole and trig point on a small tor. Easy walk south along the ridge to Devon's highest point, High Willhays, which was marked by cairn topped by a graceful tower of tiny stones! Fine views of surroundings, especially the bleak terrain to the south. Strongly reminiscent of Pennines or Cheviots. Stayed high on mostly pathless terrain to Dinger Tor and Lints Tor before descending to the upper valley of the West Okement River. The valley is boggy at first but a small path soon appears. Passed an enchanting stunted oak forest and a wooded gorge before reaching the reservoir and return to car.jamessteel10016/08/2020
Walked with eldest son (17) from the car park at Meldon Reservoir. Weather warm with some low cloud but also patches of sunshine. Took a slight diversion from planned route to avoid a large number of ponies. Then on to High Willhays. Descent enlivened by youth hostel ringing at 7.53pm to say check in was by 8pm not 10pm due to Covid. Thankfully they let us in when we got there at about 9.25pm.clyoung06/08/2020
Run from Meldon Reservoir. Warm and sunny day!dave_mole22/07/2020
Run up from the east side of Meldon Reservoir followed a stream to the east of Homerton Hill up on to the plateau. Ran slowly across the open moor to High Willhays. Close to the stream I saw a Grey Wagtail higher up there were a few Crows and plenty of Skylarks. Had a chat on the summit and enjoyed the view. Could clearly see the North Devon coastline and the sea. Ran easily to Yes Tor where I said hello to a couple hunkered down in the rocks. Easy run back to the start across the trackless moor. Saw my first Wheatear of the year. Time taken an hour for 4 miles.isabelle14/06/2020

Round of Hangingstone Hill, Cut Hill, High Willhays and Yes Tor from parking at East Okement Farm. Torrential rain. Solo round in fell running gear but not possible to run on much due to difficulty of terrain (uneven clumps of grass). Several water crossings.

Run from Sourton Church up over Sourton Tor’s along the old railway to Great Links Tor. I t took me a few minutes to remember the easiest climb to the actual summit which was very easy as the only technical move is low down. I headed on to the remains of Bleak House. I remember camping by it in 1990 and it was a lot more substantial then. I took the path up to Kitty Tor. The cloud broke and it was warm in the sunshine. I headed down to Sandy Ford and then up High Willhays and Yes Tor before running back to Sourton via the top end of Meldon reservoir. For the 11 miles it took 2 hours 30 minutes. I saw Wheatear, Linnets, Skylark, Meadow Pipit, Buzzard, Kestrel and Ravens.isabelle04/08/2019
