BATs Backs-
Cornwall & Bodmin Moor in distance

Back from a BATs club run- and yes there was cake! Dry and sunny, but Dartmoor hiding behind mist. Gentle 5.26km. Not many out tonight, but that left more cake for the rest of us.

It was a splendid short run (splendid because it was short?!), partially off road as you can see. 

But the big question of the night was how many pieces of cake can you eat for 457Kcal [amount my Endomondo said we burnt off]? It was a a fairly quite affair, as our head coach was on honeymoon and so there was no one there to shout 'heads up, shoulders back' at us all - but bless her, she still had time to make cake before she went.  

We even do birthdays!
Happy Birthday Pam, Mike, Lawrence,
Janice and all B.Day BATs 

Welcome to Get Out Moor!

Stone Circle nr Hound Tor, Dartmoor

Welcome and thank you for visiting my new blog. After months of deliberation [mostly procrastination!] I have, finally,  sat down long enough to find out how to start a blog and more crucially, decide on a name. 

So, what will my new blog be about? Getting out Moor of course! In this case Dartmoor, the Bere Peninsula and surrounding areas. Dartmoor is 365 sq/mile of stunning wilderness in the South West of England. There are only a few things in life I enjoy more than getting out on Dartmoor either running, walking or cycling. On my own, with my wife, with Georgie the greyhound or with friends. 

Dartmoor Classic Sportive- 100mile [2009]

Exercise of any kind, whether a really punishing run or a gentle stroll, is thirsty work - so local pubs, which serve great Beer and Ale will also feature prominently. 

Proper Job! Garden of Mary Tavy Inn 

There will also be cake!

I hope you will stay with me and be inspired to Get out Moor!
