The fifth event in a series of monthly events taking place in different squares of the Dartmoor 365; the square chosen at random by pulling out a square at each event. The square pulled out for this month is R6: Sheepstor Village. The event will start at around 10am at the given co-ordinates for geo-chat, TB exchanging etc. People are free to come and go as they please. Lala and I will be there until around 12pm. We will be wearing our hi-vis so people can see where to aim for!
This event is being held earlier than our previous events to allow for people to have a proper days walk out on the moors, but will go on until 12pm to account for those who prefer to get there a little later.
Even though the square suggests Sheepstor Village we are in fact holding the event up Sheeps Tor itself, mainly due to there not being all that much in the village and who doesn't love a good tor?! The Dartmoor 365 book describes the village as too small to support a shop, post office or an inn and is named after the tor whose name is apparently nothing to do with sheep! In 2001 the village population was 53, down from 95 in 1901!
