03/11/2018: Avon Dam, Huntington Cross, Clapper Bridge & Eastern White Barrow walk

This Mustard Seed Walk will take us from Shipley Bridge car park (toilets) up the track to Avon Dam. We will continue to join part of the Abbots Way Walk to Huntington Cross and the nearby clapper bridge. A short steep climb will get the heart pumping before we visit Eastern White Barrow and a grassy walk back down to the car park.

01/12/2018: Corndon Down and Sharp Tor walk
A Mustard Seed Walk starting from the ever popular Dartmeet car park (Badgers Holt). We will follow the East Dart river north for a while before walking through the hamlet of Sherwell. From here we will head north until we can pick up the grassy ridge back across Corndon Down. Crossing the road we will visit Sharp Tor and some bronze age hut circles nearby before descending to Dartmeet. There . . . are toilets and possibly the cafe will be open back at Badgers Holt.

27/04/2019: Cut Hill day walk from Postbridge – A 365-ers dream!
Come and join Simon on this substantial and challenging Saturday walk from Postbridge out to one of the most remote places in England – Cut Hill at 365 square H8. This walk is long and over some rough terrain and not for the fainthearted! We will meet at 10am the Postbridge Information Centre (£2 car park charge for all day) and will walk up the East Dart valley going past such places at ‘Cow Flop . . . Bottom’ and Flat Tor Marsh. If you follow Dartmoor 365 you can tick off K11, J11, J10 and I9 on the way. Bring a packed lunch and drink and you will need waterproofs and warm clothing. It is October and Cut Hill is up there near 2,000 feet above sea level so will be very windy. If the weather is clear we will be rewarded of magnificent views unparalleled on Dartmoor with Dunkery Beacon on Exmoor, Portland Bill in Dorset and the Lizard Peninsular in south west Cornwall. The guide intends doing the thing everyone does not recommend and wearing welly boots with plenty of thick socks because the ground is very wet and marshy going past the Flat Tor re-wetting area. Dogs on leads are fine. If you have a walking pole then bring it to test the ground before you commit yourself. If the weather looks clear and fine bring binoculars! BUT please do not book up for this walk if you can not walk 12 miles over rough ground in poor weather or need to be back early. We will hopefully be back before 6pm but no guarantees so bring a head torch or similar. If this description of the walk has put you off then you probably weren’t up for it anyway!!! NOT suitable for under 16s unless you are training for Ten Tors. Please book by email to simondell1958@yahoo.co.uk preferably. More details
