Changing Seasons series, dedicated to the lighter hiker / smaller explorer.

What we'll do:
Hike 5 miles
Total ascent 655 feet

This hike will start and finish in Ashburton town centre. With only one serious meandering hill after 1.4 miles, this hike will offer an easy paced alternative, to some of the other ones on offer in this group.
Once we get started we will soon be alongside the River Ashburn and walking through the woodlands of Woodencliffe & Whiddon Scrubs. We will also pass through farmland and the outer edge of Dartmoor.

Following the hike we can refresh at the delectable Rafikis, Independent veggie and vegan café bar based in Ashburton serving all day brunch, lunch specials, homemade cakes and more...

10.15am meet outside Ashburton information centre opposite the car park in the town centre
10.30am Hike
1pm Rafikis
