The River Plym

This week me and Radical Rob headed to Dartmoor to catch some heavy rain. Dartmoor is an beautiful place, full of granite torrs and wild ponnies.

The area is full of history, littered with Bronse age settlements , Leats (water channels) to supply water to surrounding towns and these stone crosses that the monks used to cross the moor.

The Plym is one of the best grade 5 rivers in England, it rises and falls quickly after heavy rain.

The 3km section runs through a magnificent and almost spooky forest. The river is steep and boulder garden in nature.
