NW of Tavy Solo Run 11-07-2015


Went for a solo run yesterday as My Wife and Daughter have got into Horses so their riding time leaves me with a little more riding timebiggrinbiggrinbiggrin

Decided to investigate around Tavistock but try some that I haven't done before as well as the normal onessmile

Was working off paper maps as have no power on the 2 smoke to power the sat nav or phone (have ordered a power pack to boost the battery power on the I phone nowsmile) so I did miss a few lanes and wasn't sure about a couple but still had a great afternoon out and met a nice man who took the photo of me checking the water height in the river and e mailed it to me. lol

Sorry not much of a report but heres a few photossmile

 

Lopwell Dam when its to deep to cross.

At the river bank at the South end of 201-032 looking across to Cornwall, a couple of land rovers went across as I was there.

The nice man who took this photo on his phone and then e mailed it to me once I was home told me its one of the lowest he has seen the river and it was still above my knees with a fair few large hidden rocks. He and his kids tried to convince me to cross on the bike but I chicken outnodisbeliefcry

Nice pics, enjoy that area.

Last time I went to angel steps someone had tried to get a (probably stolen) hire car up it and obviously didn't get very far !
