I must say 'Hello!' to Sara and the lovely couple who I got chatting to whilst looking the for cist. So nice meeting new people who love just being on the Moor.

It was such a beautiful day. Your photos really capture how awesome Hound Tor is. I am so pleased that you found the cist. It was great meeting you and your lovely dog. I look forward to seeing more of your amazing photos and to reading your book when it is published. Best wishes, Sara
