Never found it. No signposts in Okehampton. Locals unable to assist us in finding it.

The information and bike waymarking here is substandard and does not meet the standards of the Scottish Forestry Commission sites e.g. 7 Stanes. Information about cycling at this site has always been poor and the success of the venue will suffer until it is more widely known.
