It is therefore recommended that booking of popular destinations is done as early as possible . Although Tregantle Fort offered good access to Dartmoor for rock climbing and walking it was somewhat isolated . If wet weather had prevented some of the activities from taking place , the " wet weather " programme would have involved considerable travelling . A short two day recce carried out in early 92. This proved to be valuable in the long term planning of the ex . ACTION |
