It has just come to our attention that there is a diversion around the Clashdhu cutting section of the Dava Way whilst forestry operations are taking place. Path users are advised to follow diversion signage.

Some Dava line history from 1883

A goods train, consisting of 35 wagons and headed by three locomotives and a snow plough, stranded on Dava Moor in March 1883 in that was 9 feet deep. A squad of 70 men was sent to dig it out

The Dava Way Association (DWA) was formed nearly 30 years ago to build, improve and maintain the Dava Way and is entirely managed by volunteers. It receives no formal support or funding from Public Funds, making it almost unique in terms of the Great Trails. The DWA has ongoing plans to further improve the Dava Way but these plans depend on funding, therefore if you enjoy your walk or ride, please consider donating money as it costs around £500/mile/year to maintain and improve the track.

Without donations from our friends and supporters, our volunteers would struggle to maintain and improve the Dava Way. Please consider signing up to Easyfundraising so that retailers donate to us. it does not cost you a penny, but it could make a big difference to us.
Alternatively, you can donate to the Dava Way Association directly via our web site link or by contacting our treasurer to set up monthly or an annual donation. Links to donating are in the comments.
