Nice pictures people - especially Aspen Mike’s (as usual!) and Splodge’s first one in the forest.
I got back from Joe’s Peaks Muni Weekend last night. I’d booked today off work in case I ended up riding all day yesterday and having to drive home this morning, so I had a whole day to kill. So what did I do? Went out on a muni ride. I’ve been meaning to explore a bridle way that looks like it almost links up a couple of my favourite local trails (avoiding a few miles on the road) and today seemed like a good time to go for it - nice and clear (can navigate by sight) and dry (bogs not too dodgy). It was a pretty successful trip - the bridleway is very nice and ridable, with only a little climb at the end that was too steep and rocky to get up. It does peter out in the middle of nowhere, as shown on the map, but within sight of a clump of trees that I know is next to the other trail. It was probably about half a mile or so across the open moor, which was very hard to ride (and not really legal anyway) but didn’t take long to walk and wasn’t boggy - at least after a couple of weeks of dry weather. I don’t know if I’d fancy it in mist or after lots of rain, but in dry conditions it’s a nice new route. The first attached picture is of Norsworthy Bridge, near Burrator Reservoir, and the others are around an old farm building next to the Bridleway (heading towards Sheepstor Common).
