This year i plan on going for it again. I've used Ivybridge as the jump off point on a couple of times, but the south of Dartmoor isn't an ideal for getting lost. Has anyone tried entering Dartmoor from another route. |

Seems like a very sensible thing to do and a useful piece of information for not only fellow members, but all visitors to this fantasic website, and the area generally. |

Okehampton, Merrivale, &willsworthy. there is a web page with the firing days and times .although sometimes we forget to check and get down there only to find the red flags flying, so have to re arrange our walk and keep outside the range poles. all the best pat

Perhaps I'd had a drop too much whiskey, because reading it again it doesn't flow does it? Thanks again for your input and watch out for those bullets! |
