Dartmoor 3: Thatcher era, satnav age

Posted on 28 July 20192 April 2021 by Rob Ainsley

Final day of route research in lovely Dartmoor.

Quaint Lustleigh. One place you can talk about the ‘Thatcher era’ and I don’t get angry.

Railtrail between Moretonhampstead and Bovey Tracey, which has been blocked for several years by the name.
Memo: Don’t trust satnav in Devon.
The super bridleway by the side of the Teign up to Fingal’s Bridge. Possibly unique in Devon: a cyclable path without any 1 in 3 gradients.
Fingal’s Bridge Inn. Yes, of course I did.
