Re: Devon bikepacking/wild camp

What it may be is a bit of rough stuff to the forrest, then gravel and roads up to the Warren House Inn before getting on the bridleway towards Grimspound.

Re: Devon bikepacking/wild camp

Ah I get you now - honestly that's part of the route that I know less of - it could be hike a bike, it could be fine. I'll take another look again!

Re: Devon bikepacking/wild camp

Keith - How do you propose riding from Belstone to Hangingstone Hill? Is there an unmarked trail accross the range? Goody if there is. I love a Dartmoor death march.
