Sunday, 27th April. Long Walk. Butterdown. Medium. 7 miles. The walk is over open moorland including Black Pool (no illuminations!), Butterdon Hill, Spurrell's Cross and Piles Hill. Mainly good tracks and short grass but some tufty stuff. Nothing too steep and no mud at present.
Leader: Dave B. Start at 10.00am from Harford Moor Gate carpark north of Ivybridge (GR SX 643 595 and ///locator.butchers.inclines). The car park is now closed to the general public but we have special permission to use it so ignore the signs. We can use the car park (normally locked), on condition that we be very aware of our foot fall, soil erosion and ground conservation on our route so that any damage is minimised. Please read the notice board in the car park.
To reach the car park take the A38 to Ivybridge and drive through the town to the 4th roundabout. Turn left here then immediately right into Harford Road and go up the hill past the paper mill and the school. At the crossroads go straight on, over the railway bridge, signed for Lukesland Gardens. Continue past Lukesland to Harford and turn right immediately before the church and proceed up a seriously narrow lane to the car park at the top.
