It is advised that, if you have them, to bring walking poles for the Ivybridge/River Erme walk this Sunday. There are some sections where extra care is needed and you should find poles helpful. 

Otherwise, a beautiful walk, slightly over the 7.5 miles advertised. This is due to having to divert around a permanently boggy area on the original route.
