What a superb ride haven’t been down that way for years but will deffo need to.

Do it! It's definitely worth the effort. Got any favourite spots you want to revisit?

I grew up in Devon. It is a wonderful place. I did Ten Tors in 1986 maybe? The very hot year with people dropping out his heat related illness. Did a lot of hiking and biking up there.

Your thread has made me remember. Cheers.

It's a great place to grow up. Glad the pics have brought back happy memories

Superb ride report.
Very jealous of anyone who lives close to national parks and other places of extreme beauty. I'm out every chance I get and Northamptonshire has some lovely little spots, but nothing as breathtaking as this, and certainly nowhere as wide open and rugged.

Dartmoor is pretty special in terms of its feeling of wilderness, probably as good as it gets in the South of England IMO.

I was never that far away from a road on this loop, but it's possible to get a good distance from any roads or dwellings right in the middle (admittedly rather boggy!) bits of the moor around Fur Tor.

I don't miss Britain much but today I do. I've kept all of my OS maps and routes too.

Where abouts in the UK were you based?
