What parts of Dartmoor on you on about? Do you know where Hound Tor is? Do you know where the village ruins are? Between the 2 of those is a stream and a wooded area.
Lots of Dartmoor is just rocks and grass, but there are areas of woodlands.

Tourists are an annoyance, but that's not an issue. It'll me mostly treking around, I think. Also, no point going deepest and darkest. We are still getting to know one another.

Last meet I was at, over in Wales, when we all went into our tents to get some sleep, we were ALL on the forum messaging about how it was going haha.
I think a write up is a requirement.
