That year the festival took place in Poland and more than 3 millions pilgrims celebrated the event. The week was filled with a series of religious meetings and group activities that concluded with the Pope’s public appearance in Kraków. For the nuns, this was a rare chance to spend time away from their strict routine. “The best thing was to walk around and meet people from everywhere. Even if we couldn’t speak the same language we were all there for the same purpose and it was good to stay together,” said Sister Francesca. Butler, Jeremy (1993).

By early July the map was complete and I transferred all controls over. Current Projects". Dartmoor National Park Authority. 1 December 2005. Archived from the original on 28 October 2008 .

And so, leaving behind the uneasy feeling of being stalked by a hungry wolf, let’s return to the route, and the 7 interesting things along this section … As the area is very open and susceptible to extreme weather differences, a No Whistle No Go policy is compulsory. In addition, full arms and legs covering is advised and if raining on the day a hooded anorak is required, and we will ask to see. Though she never returned, the legend of her disappearance would intrigue the imaginations of travellers for years to come.

On the plus side the start team were able to deploy a 4x4 to the start which was extremely useful as it is highly exposed. The weather eased as the day progressed and we had a great showing for control collecting, which allowed us to clear up and close out the event cleanly. On the face of it the minibus hire firm thought we where all very organised which is nice to hear. Today, the name Nun’s Cross is associated with the farm and is also given as an alternative name for Siward’s Cross that stands here (and was discussed in the last blog about this route). However, Fleming hypothesises that in the past, a second cross may have stood near here (2011). Tin workings of the 16th and 17th C, to the east of the current farm, are documented with ‘nun’ in their name (Greeves, pers comm to cited in Fleming, 2011). It is therefore possible that there used to be another cross here, perhaps at Nun’s Cross Ford, to the east of the 19th C farm, guiding the traveller across the headwaters of the river Swincombe. 2. Goldsmith’s Cross This is where the history of Nun's Cross Farm gets spooky - and makes me question my decision to venture up here. The areas chosen were based on their technical difficulty, the interesting mine workings, gullies, pits, knolls, re-entrants and spurs. I wanted to make it challenging for the longer courses by concentrating groups of controls on specific areas to add confusion and prevent following the person in front which can easily happen on open moorland. Would you dare stay overnight in this abandoned farmhouse? Let us know below in the comments section. Nun’s CrossI'm excited to partner with History Hit to showcase some of my favourites - just in time for Halloween. Pre-1954 OS maps show the cross at Siward’s Cross, along with the Ordnance Survey Bench Mark, and a separate BS to the east. This BS is shown against a wall and at a totally logical point at a change in direction in the boundary This BS and others along the boundary lines, have to be for the Forest of Dartmoor.

These jokes range from innocent puns to more risqué humor and have been passed down through generations. While some may find them inappropriate or offensive, others see them as a way to inject some humor into a traditionally serious topic. The infamous Fox Tor mire in the vicinity of the cross became an inspiration for the Grimpen Mire, which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle described in his The Hound of the Baskervilles. [20] Nun's or Siward's Cross [ edit ] Siward's cross You can also walk/cycle in from Princetown via South Hessary Tor or from the car parking areas at the eastern end of Burrator Reservoir or the limited parking area by Gutter Tor just up the road from the pretty village Sheepstor. Again, all of these are marked on theOrdnance Survey Explorer OL28 'Dartmoor' map.

Safety and Risk: A comprehensive risk assessment will have been carried out by the organiser, but participants take part at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety during the event.

Why is it inappropriate to touch a nun? Out of respect for her religious vows, touching a nun is not acceptable.

It was probably erected at this spot for two reasons: as one of the markers of this route long before the road was built, and to mark the boundary between the parishes of Chagford and North Bovey, [5] which runs roughly along the same line as the road. Nothing is known of the early history of the cross, although its crude shape suggests that it is very old. It was later used as a boundary marker for Headland Warren ("WB" carved on one face stands for "Warren Bounds") and as one of the bounds of the mining sett of Vitifer Mine. [6] Its survival here is probably due to its use as a boundary marker: two similar crosses further along the road towards Two Bridges are known to have been removed in the 19th century. [5] A map found at the Plymouth and West Devon Record Office, and dated 1916, indicates that it was proposed to erect a PCWW stone in the position indicated by the BSs on the later maps. While discrepancies have been found with this map it is totally reasonable to expect a stone to have been erected at this location and this is confirmed by the OS maps. The challenge was to establish whether it was viable to host an orienteering event in a part of Dartmoor that did not have sufficient parking to support a traditional event format.
