Bog of Death!

As this was my first time taking my parents to Dartmoor, we were only walking around the edge and climbing tors near are campsite such as Yes Tor. Later on in the day we were having issues crossing the river.

Although I know it’s VERY dangerous crossing a large river with no rope, buoyancy aids etc, we managed to find a semi safe place to cross. We managed to rock hop without anyone falling in which was a plus, but as we got to the other side we discovered a mega bog, which some how my boyfriend and father manage to run across without getting stuck. As we eyed up the bog of death we decided to run across, three… two…..one…shit! Quite literally probably, I was semi stuck and my mother up to her waist!

This was very amusing to my father and boyfriend who were standing on the side perfectly mud free until I got out - mawhahaha!.

Gaiters rule so always wear some to stop mega death bogs attacking you!.

Crazy wet summer

Who's got wet this summer being outdoors?
Soon I will be giving some tips to stay dry for wild camping to walking the Cotswold Way..
