Hi,

I am wanting to ride Dartmoor, having done it a few years ago, and can't find my old route. Seem to remember a Singetrack route round SW of Dartmoor. Anybody got GPX of the long rides Chipps did a while back in the area?

Cheers

Yep - will send it over. Alternatively give me/us/somebody else a shout and you'll get a guided tour.

Stevede showed me a really good route down that way. He didn't have to blindfold me cos I wouldn't have a hope in hell of finding it again.
It was all legit too!

Give him a shout he might have a GPX

Hi

Couple of links below to earlier threads:

http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/between-dartmoor-and-exmoor

http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/haldon-bike-park-dartmoor

This is a copy and paste from an earlier post of mine:

There is a good route out from North Bovey to Hunter's Tor, Nutcracker, Lustleigh Cleave and then back via Water. Check the OS map, but there is also a lot of good off piste stuff in the same area.

For more open moorland ride, there are a couple of loops you can do heading out from Bennett's Cross near the Warren House Inn. Following is a good widescreen ride if it's dry with a mix of XC and more technical stuff, and can be linked with the Lustleigh loop if you want a big day of it:

Bennett's Cross > Vitifer Mine > Soussons Down > Golder Dagger > Challacombe > Headland Warren > Grimspound > Hameldown > Natsworthy > Jays Grave > Hayne Down > Hound Tor > back to Grimspound the same way or via Bonehill and Heathercombe and then back to start via Headland Warren

Also google the Stepping Stones ride out from Bellever. Again best attempted in the dry.

Further west, there is a decent loop out from Princetown to Burrator via the Widowmaker and back on the old railway line.
