Breeze Bovey Church Plym Trail to Drakes Trial

Saturday 4th November 2017 10:00am

Starting from - Saltram House Plymouth PL7 1UH. We will meet in the carpark at 10am but if people could arrive earlier as will need to do a bike check. If you feel the distance may be too much we have alternative starting points. Plymbridge woods car park (at 10.45) which would knock 8 miles off the total (no toilets), alternatively Clearbrook (at 11.30) in the car park opposite their village hall which would knock 18 miles off the total (no toilets) or final pick up point Yelverton where hooray there are toilets and we would be there about 12.10. From here to Tavistock return is only 13 miles but the most hilly. Just be aware that if you are meeting us at these stops to allow for any mishaps on the way. PL7 1UH

Saltram House Plymouth PL7 1UH. We will meet in the carpark at 10am but if people could arrive earlier as will need to do a bike check. If you feel the distance may be too much we have alternative starting points. Plymbridge woods car park (at 10.45) which would knock 8 miles off the total (no toilets), alternatively Clearbrook (at 11.30) in the car park opposite their village hall which would knock 18 miles off the total (no toilets) or final pick up point Yelverton where hooray there are toilets and we would be there about 12.10. From here to Tavistock return is only 13 miles but the most hilly. Just be aware that if you are meeting us at these stops to allow for any mishaps on the way.

We will start at Saltram House Carpark heading along the Plym trail on to Drakes Drakes Trial to Tavistock where we will stop for lunch. There is a £3 charge for parking. We will follow the trials which will incorporate a couple of hills but the gradient is gradual so shouldn't feel it to much. There is one steep hill before we reach Yelverton but we can walk that if required. It is a scenic route and hopefully the weather will be good so we can enjoy the views.

Remember to bring plenty of fluid and snacks if required. A spare inner tube is recommended just in case of any punctures. Bring appropriate Autumn clothing, layers are always good as rather be to warm than cold.

Please be prompt as we will be leaving on time.
Look forward to seeing you all.
