The latest issue of Summit has a 'stop press' item about Vixen Tor (left).
After initial disappointment at the apparent loss of climbing on Vixen Tor, the Dartmoor National Park Authority has said it intends to ask the landowner to allow access to the rocks. In the event of this not working, the Authority has said it will impose an access order, or even carry out a compulsory access purchase of the Tor if this proves necessary. The hope is that this will be sorted by the end of the year - sanity prevails perhaps.
