I'm after a good day out in Devon or Dorset that will interest me but not kill my wife. biggrin A loop from a campsite would be ideal... Any suggestions? Dartmoor seems like a good place to start, unless the local bylaws are a pita like the New Forest.

The Tarka Trail is a bit easy, isn't it? And where in the Quantocks/Exmoor? We'd prefer tricky to easy...
