Walking Overnighter at Princetown

After work me and Andy had a spot of dinner and then headed up to Princetown, as we were there we popped into the Plume of Feathers for a quick drink and then headed out towards Swell Tor Quarry where we were planning on setting up camp for the night. We managed to find a flat spot, set up the tarp and then the thermarests underneath.

We managed to sleep pretty well, though we did get woken up in the early hours of the morning by a rave a few miles away.

A rather dilapidated old building

Although the weather wasn't the most inspiring, we still had an explore. We found the wreck of an old building that looked pretty cool and then we found some small lakes in a unused quarry.

It was a great place to explore, just a shame the weather wasn't a little nicer

The old tramway
We wondered round for a few hours before having to head back to the car and head home. Will definitly come here again as we have further that we want to walk.
