Wondering if anyone could help me out with a GPX route for Dartmoor? Looking for about 30-40km, riding with a buddy who's not been on a mtb for a year but is cycle fit, so nothing super nadgery but long enough to be interesting ideally. Coming from Bristol so east side probably best. Have seen a few descriptions of routes, but not knowing the area or having an OS map (yet) it's proving difficult to plan out a route.

Cheers,

I've got a nice 24 mile loop from the Warren House Inn over to Manaton & back, some nice downs but nothing too suicidal, you can stop at the Hound of the Basket meals van for lunch ๐Ÿ™‚

Email in profile if you want me to send you a GPX file.

Not on the moor, so not the real Dartmoor experience but the singletrack were so good. The bit in the middle was a bit boring but the Hunter path has some stunning views. Here my awesomeness caught on camera:
