Current News
2011-11-30 - Electricity from wood
We are in the testing stages and very close to producing electricity from wood using wood gasification and an old converted petrol generator. This is an old technology (used during the second world war fuel shortages) to produce gas from wood and run an internal combustion engine on it. We have had a great deal of help from Dean and Kerry from Meadow Forge on the fabrication of the filters etc. (thankyou). Why spend money on expensive PV panels when we have millions of little solar panels growing on trees! More info on our progress coming soon.
2011-05-25 - Wray Valley Cycle Path Opening
After many years of planning and construction the first part of the cycle and equestrian path will be complete.
To mark this event we are going to hold an opening event at the Steward end of the track on:
Monday 30th May from 2pm to 4pm
There will be tea and cakes available.
Please cycle or walk from the Moretonhampstead end of the track (just down Brinning lane on the left).
Big thanks to Devon County Council, Moretonhampstead Parish Council, Moretonhampstead Development Trust and Dartmoor National Park Authority for their work on the planning and construction.
This event has been organised by Moretonhampstead Parish Council (01647 440041) and Steward Community Woodland (01647 440233)

2011-03-25 - Wray Valley bridge installation
The road was closed for two days while the bridge was installed over the A382. A massive crane had to be brought in and assembled on site in order to lift the metal bridge. Work started in the afternoon of the 24th and the bridge was lifted on at about 10pm.
2011-03-10 - Wray Valley Trail
Work continues on the Wray Valley Trail. Most of the path has now been layed between Moretonhampstead and Steward. Work is due to commence on the bridge at the end of this month (March) when they will need to close the road for a few days.
