Dartmoor Conditions

Hows Dartmoor at the moment? Specifically around nutcrackers/hound tor area? I went up about 6 weeks ago and it was basically a giant bog.

not ridden lustleigh for a bit but pretty saturated everywhere else.

although it’s due to be a bit drier this week.

All this rain is getting a bit tedious!

I’ve been avoiding that route lately as it does get pretty boggy in places – frost this week should dry it out though hopefully.

If you’re looking for an alternative I rode the Princetown / Burrator route on Sunday and that’s all fine apart from some of the lower bits near Leather Tor bridge which have been churned up by logging vehicles… and the bit just before the new bridge on the Railway Line loop back which is comically muddy as ever.

Yes i was considering that but think im going to go down Gawton/Tavi for a mess about instead

Better earlier in the morning or late in evening – good frosts at the moment. Snow last week, still plenty of water around…
