Down Tor/Hingston Hill Row in 1962, when I was 13, as I used to camp on Dartmoor, at Dean Combe, sometimes even sleeping in the potato caves, a lot during that summer and we went walking from there every day. I didn't know what it was but remember being fascinated enough by it to try an find out what it was.

Avebury was my second in 1963 when I was on a summer camp nearby and we walked there. I was a bit more aware of things then as I had done some research after seeing the row the year before.

Thanks, I love Down tor, and there's nowhere better in england to get away from everything for a few weeks than dartmoor, it's lucky [ with all the people ] that there's places we can go and still not see another soul for days.

What a brilliant first place to go to. Down Tor is brilliant isn't it? The skies and empty moor seem to go on forever, except the moor isn't really empty at all, but crammed with goodies. Nice.
