On Tuesday we did a WAGs reconnoitre, for this years Dartmoor Walking Festival. From Princetown we set off along the old Railway line, to Foggingtor Quarry. We were hoping to access the Quarry, but the track was flooded and there was not a safe route round it. Therefore we had to settle with making our way, past the spoil heaps to the eastern edge of the Quarry.
Today we had a small group, four on mobility scooters and two walkers. It was an overcast day with a strong cold wind, but it was dry.
Although it was overcast the visibility was very good so we were able to enjoy the views.
As a result of the reconnoitre we have a couple of options for the walking festival depending how many turn up for the walk.
Where we can go around Swelltor Quarry is limited by the amount of rocks on some of the paths.
As usual Gill and I finished the day out with a meal at the Twisted Oak, before heading home.
