Got a cottage booked for 8 of us in Chagford for a long weekend in mid february for the wife’s birthday. She’s planning to spend the monday with the girls, shopping or something.

Any decent trails nearby which would get me out of another shopping trip justify me taking my bike along?

yes, loads. lustleigh/bovey way is best.

Any links to maps of any sorts?

IIRC issue 49 of stw online mag pdf has 3 routes of pretty much the best (legal) sensible routes in the area.
put up a thread nearer to the date,someone may be able to show you around. i normally have mondays off but not sure about mid feb…
if you have TL and i can work out how to do it i can fire you over some routes.

Give me a bell if its on a weekend? I live in Bovey and have take a few people around off STW 🙂
