Dartmoor Routes.

I will tag on if I am not being all roadie boring man stuff things 🙂 @Crispy

fine, so long as you’re not worried about being impregnated, from a distance. that gnar is powerful stuff.
irritatingly i may have trouble sunday wrt a flight to f**king sweden. 😥
Stu, what time do you estimate you need to bug out, and what time do you estimate a comfortable start on sunday?
sorry to be asking questions like that. i have to look at flights. 😳

I really have no idea what time or where either of these rides will start until the very nice folks that are going to guide them tell me/us? 🙂

Looking forwards to meeting you all though.

Right, for those that are interested the Sunday Haldon part of ssstu’s Devon adventure will start from the Gissons hotel (EX6 7UD) just off the A38/A380 junction.

10:30 start at the pub and 11 at the hub on the top for those too lazy to ride up.

Can’t make the Sunday Haldon loop but can do the Saturday Lustleigh ride.

Any news on where & when the Saturday ride is going to meet/start ???

Del – just thread Surfing if you are still looking at this – but I wanted to say thanks for showing Kelly and I around Haldon in July.

My very random over the bar (in which I thought I had just winded myself) turned into a trip to Casualty. I had actaully forced my sternum inwards sufficiently to give my self some nasty internal brusing – was given loads of drugs – and had to have 10 days off work -and no cycling for three months!

That aside a fun time!

Cheers

Crispy I’m hoping trailmonkey will come out of hiding to guide that one. If not its me and Si. I’ll post up in the week, but I’d expect a 10:30 start in Bovey/Yarner area.

I mailed trailmonkey yesterday and he said he was hopefull he’d be able to make it. 🙂

If not i’m sure you guys will also do a great job of guiding. 8)

I’m just looking forward to riding in a new to me area.

Guy – 😯
no problem guiding, i enjoyed, and it was nice to meet you both.

well i hope that big gay bear trailmonkey is out next week. not seen him in ages!

Just had a mail from Trailmonkey saying he’s unable to make the saturday ride. 😐

But he’s told me that he’s organised a guide or two for me anyway 😀

So see you lot at the weekend and we can all talk about TM behind his back while he’s not there to defend himself. 😉

Is this still an open invitation?

Not that i’m in charge but i see no reason why it’s not.

i’m sure you’d be more than welcome bucko – long time no see

you’ll know virtually everyone on the ride anyhow

Mrsssstu is just making a cake as payment to our guides. 😀

Mmmmm cake!

Bucko your more than welcome, see everyone Saturday.

Looking forward to it, not ridden on Dartmoor for a few months. Bring on the summer!

What is the parking situation, can we actually park at the NP HQ?

Still hoping to make this. See you all in the morning, fingers crossed.

A big thank you to everyone that turned out on both days and made us feel welcome.

You guys have some fantastic trails.

We’ll be down again for some more of the same.
Any time any of you fancy a ride in mid wales just give us a shout.

sounds like it all went well.

what trails did you ride ?

what trails did you ride ?

Here’s yer first clue 😉 …..

what trails did you ride ?

Del said i’m not allowed to tell anyone about the trails we rode. 😉

Cool ride today, thanks Stu for letting me join the fun unannounced, thanks Del for guiding and for being my uppy/downy seatpost monitor! Slugwash, would love to know more about the bivvi trips sometime, see you all around, cheers, Paul.

Glad you guys enjoyed it and more than happy to help show you round, especially when there was cake like that up there as payment!

I’ll be sure to give you a shout for some three riding next time I’m visiting the WM.

We rode this trail too.

Would love to know where that trail from the video is! Gotta put the part time masters study to one side for a Saturday, leave the confines of Buckfastleigh and come ride with you East Dartmoor guys soon!

I was behind you and yet I barely recognized that on film Stu, for a minute I was envious!! Makes it look quite open.

Hope you had a good one 🙂

Makes it look quite open.

Makes the steep bit look flat too.

Hope you had a good one

We had a fantastic time thanks. 😀

A pointer to the start of that trail
in the vid would be good! 😉
Ridden hound tor lustliegh north
bovey area a lot recently, am i warm!

thanks to Si and Burchy for guiding. i was merely advisor, cake critic, general hanger-on, and heckler. 🙂
good fun chaps.
see some of you again soon i’m sure.
germinator – just come on a ride some time is probably easiest and more sociable.

Cheers del once the 5 spot is
offroad worthy will do.

If anyone is about from April 7th -April 14th as I’m holidaying in Lustliegh for a week and am up for a few rides .. 😆

Del you forgot to mention that you were also there to test that the ground was still there. With your head. 😀

*waves*

I need to sort myself out for one of these one day.

Steep bit? You must be mistaken, definitely nothing steep. 🙂

I could have sworn there was a steep bit in there down through the rocks. 🙂
