The first trip was local to home before the easing of lockdown restrictions. We went along the Exeter Canal as far as the Motorway Bridge.
We had our first WAGs outing on Dartmoor on the 30th March, after the relaxation of Covid restrictions. We met at Fingle Bridge, there were 4 buggies accompanied by one walker. We headed north up river pass the Castle Drogo Hydroelectric plant.

Possibly a boundary wall for Castle Drogo? With our walker avoiding the only wet muddy section we encountered that day, in the photo below.

On the 31st March Gill and I did a section of the Granite Way, although it was a grey day it was pleasantly warm. We parked at Prewley Farm, heading north to Meldon Viaduct and Meldon Dam. We then went south as far as Lake Viaduct.
