my only thoughts are the old railway line, Princetown towards Plymouth around below North Hessary, Swell tor Kings Tor, but very rough for wheelchairs, ? short length of road on approach to N H Mast ?

Well - what about the Okehampton Loop Road!!!!!. You drive up to just below Row tor and at the moment all the way around the road. There are tracks going off in all directions from the road, but not really suitable for ordinary wheelchairs. But at least you can get into the moor along the road, then get out and amble along in the wheelchair. An able bodied helper could just pop off and get a box and still be within eyesight and earshot of the wheelchair user.

The Avon Dam track is tarmac'ed now with lots of suitable box sites not too far off it.

There are public toilets at Shipley Bridge car park too.

The best day to go boxing there is when the company has an open day as they run a fifteen minute shuttle service back and forth to the dam - saves the pegs for a bit more walking later on
