Avon Dam and Foggintor Quarry

Share This Post

On Friday 19th May we did our monthly level one walk, Shipley Bridge to Avon Dam. I was hoping the Rhododendrons would be in flower, but we were about a week too early. But we had a splendid display of Bluebells and Pink Campion, in the hedgerow between the A38 and Shipley Bridge. The feature photo does not do it justice.

On Tuesday 23rd May we did a regular WAG’s reconnoitre, starting from Princetown to Foggintor and Sweltor Quarries. We were joined by a local company, who supply mobility equipment. They wanted to test 3 All Terrain Powerchairs, one failed within 0.5 miles, but the other 2 did very well. While we did not complete the whole route, we did manage to traverse a long flooded section of track near Foggintor Quarry. The water has been to deep for the mobility scooters in the past, but this time it was ok but had to be treated with care.
