A few photos from recent rambles

This is a selection of photos from rambles I have done this year. Normal service will start now Gill is feeling a lot better.

WAGs did our first public ramble of 2022, on the Wray Trail on 25th January 2022.

There are four photographs from this ramble, we spent about an hour having a guided tour of Lustliegh. We then headed north towards Moretonhampstead, but stopped short of the town. After lunch we retraced our route back to Lustliegh, and Bovey Tracey.

The next seven photographs are from a WAGs reconnoitre starting from Challacombe Farm to Warren House Inn. We as a group have done Challacombe Farm to Soussons Wood, several times in the past. But this time we tried to get Warren House Inn, but failed due to a chain across the track adjacent to the road. The gap for walkers, is too narrow for us to access with our mobility scooters.

Even though we were unable to to reach our target, we all enjoyed the day. It is still an option for a future Walking Festival.

The final five photographs are from a solo trip on the Granite Way between Sourton Church and Okehampton Station. The main objective was to establish if we could use the Station car park in future, as they have started running regular trains to Exeter again.
