As we embark on our challenge of summiting the 3 peaks of Scafell Pike, Snowdon and Ben Nevis, we
need somewhere to train, and being situated as far south as you could possibly be, away from the mountains of the North, we obviously choose the wild landscape of Dartmoor, which spreads for 365
miles across the South West.
Armed with the guidebook Dartmoor 365 by John Hayward, we begun tackling some of the terrain. Here is the map, as featured in the front of the book, and a great way for us to keep track of the places
we have been. Check below for a grid key where you can find the Summit or Nothing video's for each square!
Dartmoor 365 Video Key
Here is where you can watch the videos that relate to each of the squares we have crossed off on the Dartmoor 365 map so far. Simply find the crossed square of interest, then locate the destination in the key below, and click on the link eg D4E5 (Day 4 Episode 5) to reach the relevant video.
This page, to be honest has been a bloody nightmare as the book is sparce with information and Tors at times and occasionally we have missed a square or added one or two squares too many. We will add to this as we continue our exploration, so please, keep checking back.

The links to the videos are now dead or the videos are private. I was really looking forward to seeing your videos. Is there any way to make them available again.
Thanks Jonathan
There is a second edition of the book out now with a much better map.
Tom. Dartmoor was 365 square miles when the book was written, it has since expanded to 368.
A special 1:25000 Dartmoor365 map with the grid overlaid is available from the facebook group (waterproof-ish or aluminium)
I left the Wasdale mountain rescue team just over two years ago as we moved south but far too many call outs are caused by tushing to do the challenge in 24 hrs. Last year we took a group of students on the challenge over three days, staying in each valley and spending our money to support the local community. We still added in an extra challenge to ensure difficulty but it felt better than the manic rush.
Is Darmoor really 365 square miles?
