The stone building is a lime kiln, I keep meaning to make a film on how they work. The mine 'cave' is an adit, used to drain and add ventilation to the mine and less often as access. I've no idea what the little shed with the stream running into it is, but my best guess is something to do with the waterwheel that was there. The 'open mine works' are the slag heaps of the Limestone quarry. The 'cairn' is indeed a burial mound, it's actually a Kist, Bronze Age, that has been raided at some point. The huts are range lookouts. The range wardens gather in any sheep, cattle and ponies and herd them off the ranges. They then sit in the huts to watchout for hikers or livestock entering the training area. There are two huts, one for the warden and the other for his/her horse. Granite is igneous. You did well to get up there in a little over 4 hours, it's a long old pull up and horrible in that weather. High Willhays is deceiving, it is the souths only mountain and not as high as other English mountains, but it's not that minor. It is actually 6th highest by prominence with only the likes of ScaFell Pike, Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Cross Fell and The Cheviot being higher.

You've gotta love Dartmoor, never fails to disappoint when you want cr@p weather 😂 I'm going there in July.

Well battled there chaps. Another one for the record 😉👍🏼

Great video again👍 I think the cave with a fireplace is likely an old lime kiln.

Great video! Well done for toughing it out in that weather!

Wow... The weather was really crappy wasn't it! Even so though, Dartmoor is such a beautiful place, and the Tors really emanate just how ancient they are! Another great video mate, sorry it's taken me so long to get round to watching it! All the best, James 🙏💚

Had to watch that twice, cracking adventure and lovely weather. Hope there's a part two coming?

G'day Dan, Warren, quite a trip there guys. Great views up top, though to be honest, you woundn't have got me past that greenery and history in the lowlands ; ) Btw; I'm guess'n that was a kiln, based on the design of one fairly close to me, (Kirth Kiln, a charcoal job used during WW2). Again guess'n, it's particular use probably depends on what they actually quarried there ....... sure the workers need to be fed, but it's a bit big for a bakery, tandoor or pizza oven ; ) Cheers Duke.

Epic camp. Went from the shire to Armageddon pretty fast

Just shows you the outdoors is still full of wonders and beauty if when its wazzing it dow. 😢 job.

Looked moist lads , fair play for leaving the pub in that hoolie , think i would have kipped there!

Looking forward to part 2 🍄

Another fabulous video but scary,i thought the your gear was going to take flight,you're Irish friends 🇮🇪

The viaduct was an ominous looking structure. How many feet before you both walked there many years ago, so much history and geography. Beautiful landscape to feast your eyes upon. Thankyou for braving the elements

Good effort Mr Dan & Mr Linley, Dartmoor can be a really unforgiving place mate. I spent quite a lot of time wandering a round there when I was a young soldier, still do pop down once or twice a year, but I go for the better weather ! Great video bud, thanks for taking us along. Regards Moose

I did yes tor about five years ago in march i think it was just before my stroke , nothing but brilliant sunshine over that three days , mind you the nights were bloody cold it dropped to -1 c but i loved every minute of it. Great video Dan absolutely loved it. It brought back some good memories Thankyou.

My daughter has just completed Ten tors a couple of weekends ago , know the area well with helping her and her school with some of the training .

We have a place in the US like that Dan, it's called "Wet N' Wild" a famous amusement park..😁 That's some windy, drippy country right there mate, must take you and Warren a week to dry out from an excursion like that. Even with the raging weather, you two maintained a cool head and survived to do it again. Great job with the video, well done given the circumstances, thanks. See you in the next one.

You have the best wild camp channel on utube love your channel and watch every one I want to do it myself but just can't afford a tent at the moment if you have one that you don't use anymore would you be interested in selling me one cheap 😊😊

Hey Dan - another great video! Your old 'cave thing' is actually a lime kiln - in times gone by, limestone would be burned to create lime which was used for building, chemicals and fertilisers - the stone would have been piled up on the other side of that 'chimney' in layers with coal, like a giant lasagna. A fire set at the base, and left to burn for several days - belching out smoke and fumes. Examples survive all over the country. As the fire burned up, the corrosive lime would be raked out from the bottom and stored in barrels for use. Some pits were kept alight 24/7, with the fires being continuously stoked from above as the burned lime was removed from below.

I hate camping in the rain. I'd have stayed in the pub. Cheers to you for the effort.

Dan that was absolutely fantastic video that was windy weather I would of stayed in the pub till the wind stop thanks Dan for sharing great video 👍

That’s Dartmoor for you spend a lot of time on there 👍

Totally quality trip there mate, and well captured in your video. Looking forward to your part two. We had another good one yeah! 😝👍🤠

How does the Robens tent having a mesh liner affect camping? especially when it"s cold and windy? Obviously you manage! I was looking at the Robens sprinter 2 which is in the same range but a tunnel tent and the Wechsel Exogen 2 as poss new tents. (It's one of those or a TN Pioneer 2). Given you have the 1 person 'version' of each of these I'd be interested in your view as there are negligible reviews on either. Another great video, I love the fact you show the real challenges of camping warts and all.

Well Dan that was a wet one mate but enjoyed it and looks like you both did aswell lovely place to explore and a bit of history at the beginning hopefully your next one is a dry one atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

Dan excellent video, I would have stayed in the woodland lol😊

Thanks for all the great videos! Do You have a review of the R05 yet? Should I buy it?

Well done Dan and Warren, thats great to see (from the comfort of my home). Quite an experience for you both, thanks for sharing

Great adventure, enjoyed that. Your tent looks good. Oh and - Hobgoblin rules, sorry 🙂

Well done for braving it out, pretty rough. Beautiful views. Great video 👍

Hi Dan, love your Videos. Always seems to rain when you go to Dartmoor especially near Okehampton. Looking forward to watching this later with my 10yr old daughter, we camped up on Yes Tor Wednesday Night, very windy but we found relative shelter behind the rocks, experienced the mist walking back in the morning.
