Well…darn it all…I’ve been laid up again for 2 weeks and counting. This happened after coming into contact with one of a few plants that I am super allergic to. Now I am also recovering from the resulting Laryngitis that seems to be caused by this. I’m going stir crazy all over again. I haven’t done any mountain biking. I have not even been able to go to the Gym.
Still …did manage to get some photos of a very awesome night sky…Adrian out!

Ok so I posted ( unusually on Facebook ) about my favorite place ( one of ) on Dartmoor. This being the Tavy Cleave area, just up from the Lanes End car park ( SX 53712 82384 ) …PLEASE NOTE this area is an active firing range. PLEASE check the times that the MoD are using the range. They actually own this part of Dartmoor ( the only bit they actually own ). They make full use of it!
My personal favourite view point is from Ger Tor ( SX 54801 83107 ) looking across from Ger Tor to Tavy Cleave.

Ok, I understand that the dustbin crews needed the bins to be gathered into a single place. We are a large estate of houses for the area. It’s unclear if the bins “arranged” like this are helping the crews. They might be hindering them!
But really…our residents do need to try at least to make the effort of being tidy, today’s effort I would give a D-
I will have to say, there is one very kind person. After our bins have been collected, she then puts all the bins together for each house!

It was her first real ride on the Rail. It was her first time ever at Haldon forest. She did both the Blue graded routes and totally nailed them!

It has been about 3 weeks since I truly pulled or wrenched my Achilles tendon. I’ve only just started going back to the gym. I still feel that the foot is not ready for mountain biking. The weather has not been kind either!
Next weekend looks like a no go. I think there might be something on I need to do. So it’s 2 weeks from this post that I’m hoping to get out. I’d like to do the Puffin Billy as I have not done that for ages. It’s easy to do although a bit awkward to get to. My van will NOT fit up there, which means cycling up that really steep hill. So the foot really will need to be ready for such a venture. I might have to give in and try Haldon forest first to see how that goes?
I am, however, going a bit stir C R A Z Y !! I need to get out!

Ok maybe not officially. Boy, this weather is something. I do tend to avoid Haldon Forest during the lead up to Christmas. It gets super busy with various Christmasy things…and I just don’t do crowds. So I need to focus on those tracks that are rideable in these wetter months.
Below..an AI image, as I was interested to see how copilot did! Looks like a perfect track..Wish it was real!
The rides I have done before on these wetter days include Princetown Loop, Puffin Billy, and Lydford. I’ve also done The Military Road and The Granite Way. Personally, the last three are quite a drive from my place in Kingsbridge. However, the Lydford one is a cracking ride. But…I’ve not an entry for the Puffin Billy So I really should do that one, and its the closest too!
Stay tuned then for an update on the Puffin Billy!

Well, sad news indeed, from 1st November 2025 the High Moorland Visitor Centre at Princetown will be no more, personally the next best one will be the Postbridge Centre which is a newer build, Postbridge opening hours are found here, it will be sad to see the Princetown centre go, just like when the one at New Bridge went ( which really did do a good service! ) Hate to say this, but it feels that Dartmoor is very much changing and I do not think its for the best either.

So I’ve just gone a bought Pinnacle Studio 26 Ultimate, as I was getting fed up with Movavi crashing all the time, I am finding out why I liked Pinnacle all those years ago, though I am missing some of those nice animations from Movavi
So..here is the video.
