Expedition Dartmoor April - May 2014 Report
Dear friends, apologies for the long-ish silence from me on the forum, caused by recent change of arrangements in my work life.
That said, Natalie and I desperately needed a break, so we spontaneously took three friends and took them on a photo-trip to/through Hampshire, Dorset & Devon last week - of course with the ultimate goal of our trip was to make it to Wistman's Wood in Dartmoor! Natalie wrote a report from our trip, which you could read here if of interest! I shall be adding some photographs to the FADU gallery as soon as I contact print all my negatives. http://www.afuk.cz/expedition-dartmoor/ Next time I will try to give you some heads up beforehand rather than ex-post, so there's a chance for a meet up with some of you.

Hi Leo,
What a great article, "During the day, the sky changes colours like a chameleon. Late spring in England usually promises bathing in sunshine most of the time and boy, we were bathing! But not in warm rays of a yellow giant, who faded into his stratospheric duvets just before our arrival" Just loved this description. Ian

Leo / Natalie,
I enjoyed you Dartmoor report. I see that the magic of Wistman's Wood has taken you over - yet again! Neil.

Hi Ian, thank you for your comments! All the credit for the text & the entire report goes to my wife Natalie!
Neil, yes, you are right - I could not afford miss Wistman's Wood and have very much enjoyed it there! That said, just by accident we have discovered a new location of interest! I certainly will returni in the future. It has the good properties & magic of Wistman's Wood, just there is a different kind of magic though. The spot is located just off the main road around the Burrator reservoir. You could have a look via Google maps here if interested: https://goo.gl/maps/ivRKl I have to admit that due rain / soaking wet literally everywhere, at first I have decided to stay in the car. But then Natalie came back from that spot to the car so excited! She convinced me and I have decided to get my Graflex out gave it a go. It was well worth it! I've lost myself there completely for an extra 1.5 hour and shot about 18 (5x4") negatives!

Hi Leo, Yes I know the wood you mention - very good too with lot's of potential. Maybe you won't be as keen to yomp off to Wistman's in the future Neil.
