Would have been more of us to enjoy the lucky weather and superb views, but we only had geared bikes and our shifters were all inboard 🙂
We did well considering we all had a late night and long walk home from a Beardy beer festival

Nice piccies Jim, glad that you've got yourself a flickr account at last. Wish I'd come along at the weekend (to the beer festival that is 😉 )

BTW, my Trek's falling apart after the trip to the Lakes. Can you sort it out in time for Spain please 😉

Ohh, I've also found a new bivi spot with level ground and running water nearby. Don't forget to pack your fly rod 🙂

I'm in the South also and don't recognise any of those shots, although, is that the pub at Scoriton?
Will get in touch when I know I have a day free at the weekend for a ride!

Sorry, don't do Sat nav, etc. It's all on OL28.

I think I can speak for all of us by saying we are more than happy to have newcomers join in.

Pub is South Brent

Slugwash, Where's it to then? I've got a tele rod ready. Still want to do Raven tor bivvy mind.

Hi Shiny glad to see some 'moor' shots must catch up again sometime.

That is the Avon Dam near S.Brent here is another shot from the other side

Think he meant another spot, we did a sub-zero bivvy above the dam earlier in the year 🙂

Julian you are correct that pic was taken on my mobi.

I hope you had a good Newnham enduro, I did 30k as it was a bit too tough this year for me plus I hurt my hand on the first river crossing 😕 I almost broke it & I'm currently off the bike (again)

No Jim, I meant on top of the actual damn.

Surf-Mat, what's all this wading business? Haven't you heard of stepping stones?

Slug - they were completely submerged! In fact I think you're at the same spot. Several people tried to use them but fell off so three of us just waded through. It was a bit nippy!

I think that you were at Bellever. We were at Pixies Holt, but if the Dart was any higher then we'd have done a U-turn 😉

Yup those pesky stepping stones Nr Bellever - not good in race shoes 😉 I do like living in Dartmoor 🙂
