Hi,
I'm registering for the Tracker course with Shadowhawk in July (anybody going?). I will stay a few extra days after the course for hiking.
I never hiked in Devon/Dartmoor (I live in France) and have a few questions about the right kit setup for the place. I could gather some info from various searches but would appreciate your comments and corrections:
- potentially very rainy
- lots of ticks and aggressive wood ants (--> hammock prefered)
- more moor (how suprising!) than forest --> little natural cover & can I hang my hammock? Is that true for Canonteign Falls area?
- water should be plentiful (I have a filter)
Any info from the locals would be welcome
Cheers,
P.
