Hopspiscare Does Dartmoor in a Day
Hospiscare Does Dartmoor in a Day is a fully supported challenge run by Climb South West across Dartmoor. The event offers a roughly 50 km (30 miles) route from Okehampton to Ivybridge, with a 30 km option starting in Postbridge; both are almost entirely off-road across wild moorland. Highlights include East Okement valley, Hangingstone Hill, East Dart valley, Bellever Tor, West Dart stepping stones, Ryder’s Hill, a clapper bridge over the upper Avon, the Dartmoor Volcano, and expansive Erme valley views.
Mobile Mountain Leaders act as marshals and aid route choice. Checkpoints at Postbridge and Combestone Tor; finish at Ivybridge Community College with a finisher memento. Maps, GPX, GPS tracker hire, and a coach shuttle are available; under-18s allowed with guardian; generous cut-offs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
