Saturday: Pleasure to drive through the moors
The MINI has always been renowned for its engaging character behind the wheel – and the MINI Electric is no different. Low-profile batteries help keep weight down, while compact dimensions and 184PS and 270Nm of addictive all-electric torque combine to give the MINI Electric the sparkling go-kart handling we’ve all come to expect.
Use adaptive cruise control and lane assist to stay safe and relaxed as you cruise down the A38, before taking off on the B3357 and weaving your way through the stunning expanse of Dartmoor National Park. After a while you will come across Hotel Dartmoor Hostel. Pushing a zero waste philosophy, the hostel offers a local and 100% organic menu, while all waste is sent back to farms and used as compost. So while you eat delicious food and gaze out over the moors, you can rest easy that your lunch is as good for the planet as the MINI Electric.
Refreshed? On the right, back in the MINI Electric. Is it a little cold? Hit the heated seats and crank up the dual-zone climate control before heading along the A30 to the famous Jamaica hostel. The subject of Daphne du Maurier’s best-selling novel after her forced stay in 1930, the inn’s fascinating smuggling history makes it a hotspot for tourists, while its mix of traditional and modern rooms means a bed for you . Plug your MINI Electric into one of the on-site chargers and explore the Contraband Museum and Farm Shop before enjoying a relaxing meal and drink as you watch the sunset over the beautiful Cornish Moor.
