Join the Granite Way heading towards Okehampton, for the short walk to Meldon Viaduct. On this occasion we turned around, just beyond the Meldon Station.
On our return we left the Granite Way, to take the lane to Meldon Reservoir. There is a bit of a hill between the Granite Way and the Reservoir, but should be within the capabilities of most scooters.
It is level access from the road onto the Dam, but not so easy at the far end of the dam. It is a case of retacing the lane back to the Granite Way, then back to the starting point.
