Starting out?

I have just been reading this again.  I have Memory Maps 5 (not Multimaps; doh) with 3d data etc.  It is great for planning routes etc, then printing them off.  An advantage of this is the 3d fly-through where you get a feel for the route and exactly how it will look.  I did this last summer when walking to Scaffel Pike from the Old Dungeon Ghyl in the langdale valley, didn't need to refer to maps once (just followed the crowds!).  I have also got OL28 to refer to just in case and I have also got GPS on my SE C905; if I get lost I shall need shooting!

When we go to Churchstow we turn off the A38 onto the A3121 at Wrangaton.  That's where I shall be dropped off.  There is a path there (through the golf course initially) that picks up Two Moors Way at Glascombe Ball.  I intend following that as far as Buckland Ford then head to the Avon Dam.  Is camping near Petre's pit an option?  Whilst doing this is there anything either en-route or nearby worth looking out for?

Any tips will be gratefully received.

Camphylobacter(?) is I think a local delicacy!  It's why one Dartmoor reservoir no longer supplies water to the local town, however you do build up a resisitance!

Cryptospridium! not Campylobacter!!  Took me a few days for the righgt name to come into my head
