    Looking beautiful up there Yesumbos and we were up there at the same time although not by the reservoir. Hopefully it will be similar weather this week.

    I can't believe it! Myself, Martin & Matt (Mods here on the forum) were at Burrator on that very day!!!

    Beautiful place isn't it?

    If you don't mind may I share some of my photos of Burrator here?

    Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies, Totally uncanny about being there on the same day (im stalking you all really, LOL).
    It is a truly beautiful place< i was lucky enough to grow up not far from there.
    > Ash, please feel free to add any photos. Gotta say the photos of your last trip to Dartmoor has inspired another trip for me, Never been to Fernworthy wood (think thats what it called) but photos were amazing, especially with the frost.

    Thumbs up Video of our day at Burrator

    Whilst you wait for the photos, I've just found this (previously un-published to the YouTube Channel, so a forum exclusive! )...


    I apologise for the funny filming technique I was trying something new! Gets better toward the end.

    You've inspired me too! - Your lovely photo of the Burrator Reservoir itself has reminded me that I didn't actually get a good look round the reservoir at Fernworthy whilst we were there, so I want to go back and do that for a day

    I remember camping at Burrator in a rainstorm and gales many years ago. Spent a few nights listening to the wind roar around the basin of the reservoir....Que howling wolves etc...J;-)
