I decided to do this loop yesterday ( 10th October 2026 ) even though it is October and normally VERY wet up there, it has been very dry this summer so thought I’d give it a go. I was indeed surprised to see how low the dam actually is, and also how very dry it is, even where there has always been a bit of boggy crossing places, those where totally dried out.
Was a fun ride, but my my my it was dry.

Wow, what a number of weeks I have had, work wise its been super busy, weather wise here in Devon its been on and off ( more off ) but now we have had some decent dry days..BUT..now we have to sort the new car out with a tow bar, hopefully after May 7th I’ll be able to get up on the moors with the bike!
Below another AI generated biking image…though i do wonder if there are any bridleways around Haytor ( looks like Haytor right? )

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!
