Starting at the world famous Haytor Rocks in sight of the equally legendary Hay Tor, you will embark on the Haytor Granite Railroad, an engineering milestone in its day, to an arduous trail through Dartmoor, an area of historical significance and with many mythical and legendary overtones. You will have to keep your wits about you, as it is said that the devil himself visited here.
Continuing through dramatic rocky outcrops and through landscapes regarded by many as the best in England. Estuaries, beach runs and cliff paths will test you to the limits as you navigate to your final stop through Devon. This tough course will force you to use all your mental and physical resources as you aim for the finish line.
Like all our events it is camping and self sufficiently all the way.
