Overview

We will set off from the Burrator Quarry car park to walk over the dam and round to Sheepstor before climbing Sheeps tor summit from the east avoiding the really steep climb before continuing through the arboretum to the eastern end of the reservoir. Return is along the path close to the side of the reservoir. We will be on back lanes and grassy/rocky/root strewn paths. The views across the reservoir and from Sheeps Tor should be splendid.

I plan to limit the walk to 15 people so please text the leader to let them know you would like to attend. 

I can pick up max 3 people from Pixon Lane car park at 9:30 if pre-booked.
