Dartmoor recommendations

Post by drain »

Evening. I've got a pass out for a couple of nights / days to go play on Dartmoor, and was wondering if people have any tops spots for discreet wild camping with a small tent?

Burrator, Fernworthy, Bellever all look quite useful but others may have better information / experience. I've got no particular route planned yet so open to all / any suggestions!

Much obliged.

Actually, I was at a talk about wild camping & 'wild swimming' (that's just swimming to you and me) in the South West 'cos there's a new book out about it http://www.wildswimming.co.uk/wild-guid ... outh-west/. Luckily the author hasn't given away the location of too many of our regions top bivi spots :-)

Anyway, Hi Drain. Are you cycling or walking? And are you definately using a tent? (Some bivi spots are not that tent friendly nor easy to get to by bike). And where might you be starting from? Let me know and I'll PM you some options & info.
