Exmoor charity walk is a hit with local ramblers

Ivan’s fabulous 10 mile walk around Dunkery Beacon, Webbers Post and Cloutsham on Exmoor was acclaimed as an overwhelming success by local walkers from across Devon.  The ramble was organised by renowned local Exmoor enthusiast Ivan Huxtable who arranged another panoramic route.

Over and Above Fundraising Assistant Gemma Steele took part in the walk and said   “I had a fantastic day on the moors with my family – we enjoyed glorious sunshine, climbed Dunkery Beacon, lots of wildlife, and saw the most amazing views that stretched as far as Wales and Porlock.  We then ate delicious fish and chips laid on by Whiddon Waggon Fish and Chips at the end of the route – a perfect end to a perfect day.”
