The final day was a huge tidy up, working out who owned what. When we had finally packed, we put on some waterproofs and wellies for a river walk in the sideways rain. We saw some kayakers take on the fast flowing river and bumped into another Dartmoor pony. Finally, we sang some fun songs […]

Some us were brave and tasted some gorse whilst others lost their shoes/boots in the bogs. All were recovered. We climbed a tor with stunning views of Dartmoor and […]
