    Team Raven will have at least 3 out again this year.

    I've only missed one since it started, still my event of the year, but I;m a sucker for great riding and huge flapjacks.

    See yawl at the pasta party 😀

    The route is a really good one, the long route loop has some cracking singletrack above Porlock.
    It's all on rights of way so can be ridden anytime.

    srrc, quite a bit is not on bridleway.

    Steve, I've just checked the Download page again and both Downloads are for the MMO file, no GPX file.

    I agree with Dibbs..

    Click Download GPX – It downloads the MMO file. 😕

    Scratches head.

    Will investigate the GPS thing, bear with me please.

    Dartmoor rocks:
    One of the many oddities of Exmoor is that there is much more riding than the maps show. There are many tracks that have landowners permission (on an ongoing basis), unclassified county roads etc. These are seldom shown on the OS map except as dotted or dashed lines.
    Rest assured, anywhere the Explorer goes is fully legit.

    Can you confirm that the route will be marked again this year.

    I will be bringing an OS map which i've marked but I hope not to have to use it.

    Ok thats it the vans packed and were off to Porlock for the weekend. Weather looks good, blue skies for the first time in a month. Looks like you might have got it right again Steve 🙂 See you all there.

    I've just re-plotted the long route (due to problems merging the three sections into one) and I make it 36.7 miles and 6950 ft of climbing. Does that seem about right?

    Anyone got the postcode for Wheddon Cross so I can let the Sat Nav do the remembering?
    By the way nearly 7,000 ft climbing seems more than usual?
