I would have liked to have gone with you but as the oldest of you has about 20 years on me and the youngest 40 years I would probably have held you all up waiting for Grandad!!

That's cool GBP (Grandad Big Paul), we're glad you both came over. I remember you saying you might pop down. Just impressed and appreciative that you did. You would have out paced everyone but the puppies and MikeA. Terrain is always going to be tough on Dartmoor. Slow and steady really does win the race.

yes, Dartmoor is the last place you want to turn an ankle, do that or break a leg and you'd have to be airlifted off.
