    Off darn sarf to sunny Devon for a week, staying just north of Kingsbridge.
    Can anyone recommend any routes (gpx if poss – I'm idle) in that general area, or southern Dartmoor generally?
    cheers

    If you've got a car, get across to eastern Dartmoor. You've no idea just how good it is.

    I've plenty of MM files if you need them.

    Thanks for the responses.
    MM and gpx files all good.
    I think my mail is in my profile, any chance you could mail them to me?
    That would be great! 😀

    Alternatively if you fancy a group ride, get yourself down to Plymouth.. The Yogis are a local Road and MTB club and have group rides on Tuesday and Thursday nights. They know all of the best local trails, and are a pretty friendly bunch 🙂 Ride details here: http://yogi.terapad.com/

    freeridenick / fatmuthahubbard , i'll send you some of the lustleigh cleave stuff this evening, that's easily the most tech riding we have here

    There's Haldon forest trail centre as well.

    Perhaps not as good as the well-known trail centres, but worth a visit.

    yes it is*

    *but not at the expense of missing lustleigh cleave

    correction then. i'm my opinion haldon is complete gash, I have been there a number of times and always come away dissapointed.

    on the other hand, the area round lustleigh does indeed rock…

    Its alright for a quick blast when the other trails are a quagmire in winter but not much more than that 🙂

    wesome day in the cleave yesterday. didn't leave the two valleys all day

    the hidden stuff at haldon is quite good but alas the red route isn't.
    TM, thanks for the offer of the routes, i have then ones you did for the ST mag issue 49 already and know the east moor area pretty well however i just require a few nudges in the direction of any hidden gems to link up/extend my usual routes..(which will pretty much be the same as yours) oh and can you point out on a map for me the vitifier mine singletrack please, that looks good but we always come up from soussons wood so miss it out/cant find it.
    cheers

    Ooooo. Thinking of heading off down Devon way to see the in laws in a few weeks. If anyone would be as kind as to forward any of the mentioned routes around the Lustleigh/Bovey area that would be absolutely fantastic! Cheers 🙂

    If someone could send me some gpx files I'd really appreciate it. Also staying with the in-laws down there and the novelty of haldon has worm off.

    They are five minutes from my house. Great DH from easy through to as steep and techy as you'll get in this country.

    Ish. Triscombe used to be my local spot. I still like going back there but overall I prefer woodlands.

    Race at gawton this weekend if you fancy it.

    we are coming down the following weekend for a day at Triscombe and then somewhere else. looks like the woodlands to me! is the Gawton stuff more DH and the woodlands more flowy?

    jam-bo

    You can do both in a day. They are about 2 miles apart.
