@olly, i started the ride in denbury and yunki started in liverton, with a meeting point at bovey.
Weird. I used to live near Denbury (in 88, at a place called Kellinch Farm – they’d rent out their holiday cottages to students during the winter) and a year or two later actually in Liverton.
After I moved back to Wales I bought my first MTB and joined a club. One of the guys who rode for the club had dated the daughter of the landlord of the Union in Denbury when they were in uni in another part of the country, iirc. A small world.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to a week’s holiday in Devon. I’ll be able to do the boring father bit (‘Look kids, this is where I used to live. Look kids, this is where we used to drink too much beer. Look kids, this is where we…..ad infinitum) And an added bonus is that I’m bringing a bike!!
From memory, I’d think that riding from Bovey up onto the moors is pretty straightforward, if steep, but finding decent ridable stuff is more difficult?
