Dartmoor

Endeavour Dartmoor 

Endeavour Dartmoor - The challenge will take a route across this wild piece of the west county, between Ivybridge in the south and Okehampton in the north, crossing the moor over two days. Hone your map reading and orienteering skills as well as surviving the wilds.
Join a trip, or make up your own private group.
Wild, open moorlands and deep river valleys, with a rich history and rare wildlife, Dartmoor is a unique place.
