This weekend, my husband, step-daughter, and I took young Tilly on her first really long walk, to a moorland valley at Belstone (a nearby village), next to a roaring, rain-engorged river. As you can see from the photos below, she thoroughly enjoyed the walk...and is looking forward to a life-time more of them in this beautiful, rugged, mythic, ancient corner of Dartmoor where we live.
