Start: 2025-03-23T10:30:00Z

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

What we'll do:
Hike 5.5 miles
Total ascent 1150 feet
Refresh: Bridford Inn

This is an easy paced hike that will start and finish at Steps Bridge, alongside the River Teign, on the eastern edge of Dartmoor. For this year's Spring Equinox we will hike through semi natural woodland and valley meadows.

Let the daffodils bloom.

There is some uphill work for the first 3 miles before stopping at the [Bridford Inn](https://bridfordinn.co.uk/)

The last 2.5 miles will be mostly downhill as we head back towards Bridford woods.

The plan:
10.30am meet at Steps Bridge (free) Car park EX6 7EQ (The car park gets busy so liftshare where you can)
10.45am Hike
12.45pm Bridford Inn
