We chose this fells, trail and running weekend because of its proximity to the southern edges of Dartmoor and because of the comfort and uniqueness that this award winning accommodation offers. And we’ve added our popular morning yoga for runners session.This is an ideal weekend for anyone who wants to get to know Dartmoor National Park and a bit better, someone who is training for a longer effort, perhaps an off road marathon, a mountain marathon, multi day event or an ultra and wants to get some back-to-back runs in. Pace is not important. All abilities are welcome, as long as you are capable of running 10 miles off road.
The site is situated in the tiny village of ugborough, within a stones throw of the southern beacons of Dartmoor and the rugged wilds of southern Dartmoor. Spectacular views of the surrounding moor can be accessed, almost from the front door. Conveniently located for some of the areas finest trails, With access to two pubs and some great swim spots.
Price: £330 to stay in the upmarket tents, which come with their own fire pit and woodturners.
Ability
This camp is suitable for either experienced fell and trail runners or those wanting to dip their toe in to these waters. Our experience has shown that people of all levels can be accommodated by our excellent guides but we rarely see elite level mountain goats who go it alone. The nature of the climbs and descents, makes for a worthwhile challenge, while our experienced guides (who are former elite level fell and trail runners themselves), will ensure that friskier runners can also feel tested and will also come away satisfied. You should however be able to run a minimum of 10k off road on different terrain. Speed is not an issue, so please don’t be put off by that!
