Today Tuesday, WAGs members met at Princetown, for the BBC to film a short news feature. Dartmoor National Park have started listing Accessible Walks, under the Miles without Styles banner. The morning session was on the Nunns Cross path out of Princetown, while the afternoon session was at Merrivale, parking at the Four Winds car park. The only fly in the ointment was Devon Highways lack of planning, when closing the road between Warren House Inn and Postbridge. There was no marked diversion, so it made most of the group late.
At Merrivale there are several points of historical interest, but there is a leat running through the middle which we need to cross to enjoy them all. There was a narrow stone across the leat, not wide enough for the scooters. In the past we would have to carry a portable ramp, which we put alongside the stone. While we never had any mishaps on the couple of visits, it was not very safe. So by the DNPA arranging 2 crossing points, we can now do a nice circular walk, to include all the historical points of interest.
After we had finished the filming for the BBC, the WAGS group took advantage of the lovely weather. Not seen on Dartmoor very often, as both of our previous visits, were wet and misty.
Gill and I made our usual visit to the Twisted Oak, on our way home. Which was a pleasant end to a lovely day.
