Through the town....
To the cycle path which leads to Budleigh Farm and then through Stewards Wood.
Gently up to Pepperdon Down.....
....for a coffee break on Pepperdon Rocks (a tor not marked on the os map)
We continued through some of the longer stuff on Pepperdon Dwon and through the lanes to Blackingstone Rock. This is a huge granite outcrop, detached from the main part of Dartmoor and most unusually has a set of concrete steps up to the top,
Not far away (in the centre of the photo) is Heltor Rock a similar but slightly smaller tor,
On top are a number of rock basins.
The steep steps down.
Back across another part of Pepperdon Down.
Along the track to Lewdowns Cottages where nearby is an old bulldozer which has seen better days - very strange that it should have just been abandoned here.
We took the road and a track down to Wray Barton - the old railway line ran under this bridge.
On to the relatively newly opened cycle path. This is adjacent to the old railway line which we followed back to Moretonhampstead.
With Terry, Mike, Stella, Jon, Charlie and Jane
