December 29, 2024, Peak Hill and Mutter's Moor loop from Woodbury Castle — East Devon AONB

Some (lots) of the single track around mutters moor is badly rutted by greenlane bikes. The ruts are too deep to pedal in an the isn't enough room to ride on the side. Some really steep climbs on rocky streambed type bridleways. The stream crossing at pinn lane is pretty horrendous. 100m in the stream, the a 3ft deep rut to get out of. Hard ride with some great bits of track around. Some of yhe bridleways near Tipton are closed due to flood damage and downed trees.
