Further Information
LEVEL: EASY - we will be walking at a slow pace with plenty of stops for approximately 2 miles. We will mostly be on woodland paths but there are gentle slopes to walk up and down.
WHAT TO WEAR/BRING: Plenty of warm layers, sturdy walking shoes or wellies, waterproof jacket and trousers (Dartmoor weather is unpredictable), hat, gloves, as well as hot drink/thermos and snack.
Sorry no dogs.
We also recommend bringing personal masks, a pair of disposable gloves each, and a personal first aid kit. (From a safety perspective, this offers additional protection against Covid-19 if there were to be an accident and first aid is required by me or the rescue teams. Sorry we know it seems onerous but, given current government guidelines, these are currently being proposed by all guides.)
MEETING TIME & PLACE: 9.45am for 10.00am start in the carpark below Steward Community Woodland. Car sharing in your ‘bubbles' is encouraged please as parking is limited and we lessen our impact on the environment through sharing. Thank you.
