Overview

Meet opposite the Fox & Hounds pub at 0945 to catch the 0952 bus to Okehampton and walk back.

From Okehampton the walk takes us across Okehampton golf course to Meldon, then follows the West Devon Way to Sourton Tors. We then pick up the Rattlebrook railway track, go over Great Nodden to Nodden Gate and the start.

Typical Dartmoor walk, rough tracks, steep uphills.
