The Ministry of Defence has a training area on northern Dartmoor which comprises (Okehampton, Merrivale and Willsworthy ranges). The public has access to these moorland areas except when the ranges are in use for live firing. The boundaries of the three Range Danger Areas are marked on the ground by a series of red and white posts with warning notices. When wishing to use these areas, the firing times must be checked and warning signals (red flags by day and red lamps at night) heeded. Dartmoor has been used for military training since the early 1800s. There is always a risk you could come across unexploded ordnance anywhere on the moor.

Sounds kind of risky my friend but what a nice image you have here. Like the contrast of the light snow cover too.

I just hate dirty cutlery !! A mistreated dog should try to leave a deposit on their masters best carpet, after all it's important to establish who's boss ... My gallery is here.

I thought I was going to see a driving range for gelfers. It's still a nice picture, even without Ernie Els practicing. But wait...it's much to cold for gelf anywho. ...Very nice shot.

Some interesting textures in this. It looks so barren, but I bet it will be quite green in another month.
