Major Hazards

1:25,000 scale map covering the North section of Dartmoor's Okehampton Range (approx. center SX589908).

The North section of Dartmoor's Okehampton Range, the largest of the Dartmoor live firing ranges. Spanning 11km by 8km the Okehampton training area offers a perfect mix of established paths, granite tors, rolling hills, bumbling streams, ancient structures and (away from the paths) blissful quiet. Coupled with some of the most challenging, largely "featureless" navigation terrain around, the ranges have been known to test the most seasoned navigators' toolboxes.

Live firing and exercise times are published by the MoD and a quick search for "Dartmoor firing times" should form part of your planning in this area. On the ground red flags by day and red lights at night will show the range is being used for live firing and it is in your best interest to not cross and indeed steer well clear of the line of red and white marker posts.
