Looping around Leusdon
The Cornwall & Devon LDWA hosts Looping around Leusdon, a new event for 2026. This event is open exclusively to LDWA members. The event starts and finishes at Leusdon Memorial Hall and utilizes three distinct loops of approximately 10 miles each. Participants must complete these loops in a specific order to cover their chosen distance.
Available distance options include:
- 10 miles
- 20 miles
- 31 miles
The course traverses a variety of terrain including open moorland, woodlands, bridleways, footpaths, fields with livestock, river walks, and lanes. Participants will encounter local sights such as several Dartmoor tors, the Ten Commandments stone, and Hembury Castle Fort. All routes are covered by the OS Explorer OL28 Dartmoor (1:25,000) map. Links for route descriptions and GPX files are provided to entrants before the event.
As an self-navigated event, participants must be able to read a map, follow compass bearings, and possess the necessary experience and equipment for Dartmoor conditions. All participants must return to the indoor hall between loops to check in. Event facilities include hot drinks and light refreshments during the event, as well as a hot meal at the finish. Certificates are provided to all finishers on the day of the event.
Participation is strictly limited due to bird nesting and lambing seasons. Dogs are not permitted to participate, with the exception of registered disability assistance dogs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
