Great video Lee! Lovely cottage for two and a beautiful location to get away from the crowds. Love those images of the Highland Cow, what a magnificent creature! Nice hike to the top and some lovely views up there. Well done respecting the Marines wishes and letting them get on with their important training. A couple lovely sunset shots at the end there! Looks like a great getaway! I really enjoyed the look around!

Been Dartmoor several times but never found the Highland cows, the wrong turn turned out to be a good thing , as for the Marines I thought it best not to cause any issues with a group of wet pissed off armed squaddies!

Good to see you back film making Lee (unlike myself 😂) Just typical to find practice manoeuvres in full swing as you arrived at the quarry Lee ! Great Highland cattle images and the second sunset image was a lovely scene to end the vlog. Look forward to more from Dartmoor 👍🏻

[@LeePelling]

Thanks Andrew, I wasn't sure hiw I was putting this together when I started , just took some images and video as often as I could , after all it was supposed to be a bit of a holiday , still doing up house lots going on but will get out as and when I can. Hope to see more from you sometime soon.

I enjoyed this Lee, great to see you back in the saddle !! Great spot, light and shots Pal

[@LeePelling]

[@JeremyPayne]

Great to see a vlog from you mate. The highland cows made for some great images mate. Loved the ruins at sunset image well worth it mate. Keep it going mate.

[@LeePelling]

Thanks mate, just been really busy with other stuff at moment do this week away was a welcome break!

Nice one Lee.. another location to add to my ever growing list....

[@LeePelling]

Thanks mate, is a nice location and would make a great place to camp !

[@LetsClickPhotography]

Nice to see one from you Lee, been a while. Those fish are hungry blighters aren't they!! Cottage looked a lovely place to have a bit of a break. Shame about the exercises in the quarry but it's all part of the adventure ain't it!!

[@LeePelling]

Thanks mate, still a nice evening at the quarry thanking my lucky stars I wasn't fully kitted out and in a freezing cold lake !

[@AndrewWaltonPhotography]

Good to see you vlogging again Lee. Shame you didn't get the shots you wanted but it looked a great place fr a break. Highland Cattle always make great subjects, there is a farm not too far from us that has a small herd and I think some of my first images I took with my Nikon were of them.

[@LeePelling]

Thanks mate, love Dartmoor and the wife was very happy to find the Highland Cows , they really are very photogenic

[@DanielWretham]

Good to see you back out Lee ! Not that far from me but I’ve never been there ! Really must go soon ! Hope you’re well mate

[@LeePelling]

It's a great area , potentially a good wildcamping spot ! 👌

[@derricksalisbury7631]

Hi Lee where was the wooden bridge over the water with all those rocks and boulders great photo opportunity

[@LeePelling]

Hi mate , that was dewerstone woods, think I managed a couple of images there, as we had visited before I didn't really take many images of that area and as it was supposed to be a break for my wife as well trying to strike a balance is always tricky !

[@SimonBurnCreative]

What a great place to stay. I've made three attempts in the past, to shoot at Fogginton Quarry, everyone failed because of poor conditions. Will check out your other Dartmoor videos. Cheers!

[@LeePelling]

Thanks mate, shame the marines were training but on this occasion no spectacular light anyway so I don't think I would if git a good image from inside the quarry , still a great location , not sure if it falls within the current permitted wildcamp area but I will have to have a look for the future I think

[@SimonBurnCreative]

@@LeePelling Yes, a favourite training area for the marines, I came across them there also. A little hidden from the sun, but fog and moody skies would make for favourable photography conditions I think. Need to go back there.

[@imagseer]

Foggintor sometimes disappoints when it's being shared, but that's just how it is. I remember it being the last long walk my dear old dog was able to do and finding the ruins being camped around by a large group of people ruined most of my photography plans. I went back another day, but sadly my dog didn't get to do it again. I don't think cars and motorbikes are actually allowed down the track without prior permission from the landowner.

[@LeePelling]

Sorry to hear about your dog, the vehicles you see hear were all from the military and not from the public as there is a locked gate across the track . Still I see why you liked to walk here its a lovely location and full of good memories I'm sure . Thanks for watching mate
