We're proud and honoured to be sponsoring the legendary Dartmoor Discovery (DD) ultramarathon, which goes back to its roots this year with a special 20th anniversary route celebrating the race’s original 34-mile course.

The 2018 Dartmoor Discovery (affectionately known as the DD) starts and finishes in Princetown, home of Dartmoor Brewery, on 2nd June, celebrating the early years of the race, before the route was changed to avoid a busy road.

Introducing our Pub of the Week - the excellent Thatched House in Exeter.

The Thatched House has all the hallmarks of a traditional country pub (including a thatched roof, rather obviously!), but is just a stone's throw from the heart of Exeter.  The Thatched House is a destination in itself, but also makes a good refreshment stop if you're having a walk along the River Exe (you could always park close to Exeter's historic quayside district, then have a pleasant 20 minute stroll upriver towards Exwick, where you'll find the Thatched House).
