    Carless wild camping Dartmoor. Advice requested

    I've got the bus to Okehampton and walked in through Halstock wood a couple of times. Or you could get the train down to Ivybridge and walk in on the old tramway, or walk between the two!

    Weaving with willow

    Thought I'd share my 1st attempt of basket making as I was really quite pleased with it. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] Took me about 4 goes to get it started but once I got going it was quite therapeutic. The willow I used was cut about a month ago and was still very...

    Two nights on Dartmoor

    After months of lurking on the forum, I thought I'd better post something. So as I've been organising the photos on my laptop, I thought I'd share my first wild camp from last year. I discovered that you could wild camp on Dartmoor in January, but decided to wait until Easter so that my...
