| 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 particular | muzza2 | 17/03/2024 |

| 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. | isabelle | 24/02/2024 |

| From Meldon Quarry CP: West Mill Tor, Yes Tor and High Willhays. Thick cloud, rain, high winds and no views at summits. Had to turn out as we'd come all the way from Manchester to bag these Nuttalls. | Lazylizzie | 18/11/2023 |

| 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. | MysteriousSue | 27/05/2023 |

| 1 of 3 on 5.7 mile walk starting at rowter car park having stayed the night in the camper. Followed footpaths and scrambled up from the army lodge/building whatever it was | The-Z-Man | 02/09/2021 |
| 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. | hillbagger91 | 23/08/2021 |
