Dartmoor - Sourton Tors and Meldon Viaduct Circular
A flat start along the Granite Way is followed by a stiff climb from the Lake Viaduct on unmapped paths up Lake Down to Sourton Tors. The route then descends steadily to briefly join the West Devon Way before skirting South Down, with views of Meldon Reservoir to cross the West Okement River. Passing under the picturesque Meldon Viaduct the route leaves the road to descend steeply to cross back over the river before climbing through woods to rejoin the West Devon Way to Meldon Village before passing under and then onto the Granite Way to the starting point. (Toilets en route at Meldon Reservoir Car Park) Note: the route cannot be shortened by taking the path that crosses it at SX 532 894 - the Granite Way is in a cutting and the other path is on a bridge. 11.8km, 411m ascent/descent, 2:50hrs.

Exmoor Nightmare
This was an attempt to explore part of Exmoor that has no paths shown on the OS map by using paths that appear in aerial imagery. These paths do not exist in reality and from the fording of Hoccombe Water most of the way consists of forcing a path through up to thigh deep grass over very uneven and often boggy ground, using animal tracks where possible. Progress is slow and exhausting. The path finally improves 1.5km before Larkbarrow Cross. Could be easier in the depths of winter if the ground is frozen and the vegetation has died off. 12.4km, 217m ascent/descent, 3:50hrs. Recorded 26/7/18.
