I visited Haytor in Dartmoor twice this May. The first time was to see the Beltane Border morris dancers at sunrise on May 1st. A gorgeous morning with clear sky to view sunrise, a bright full moon, and this to entertain: We walked to the top of Haytor at sunrise My second visit was on a walk with Peter Knight, author of Dartmoor Mindscapes. We explored Haytor and Saddle Tor, honouring the little-known triangular stones, climbing into crevices, finding dragons, giants, eagles and lions in the rocky tors, beating the drum and chanting under the overhangs, and performing a thanks-giving ceremony to Dartmoor
