We are the North Devon Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Devon Area Day - join our hosts Exeter & District Ramblers on 3 walks in and around Okehampton.
Meeting point is the London Inn in West Street where you can obtain refreshments before and after your walk.
Walks start at 10.30am and there will be 3 walks on offer - one of approx 10 - 11 miles, one of 7-8 miles and a shorter walk of approx 5 miles incorporating Okehampton's history..
Car parking in Okehampton car parks, most are just a few minutes walk to the London Inn.
The London Inn has offered us an upstairs room, where we may leave stuff during
the day whilst walking. There is no charge for the hire of the room, but they expect
us to order food and drink from the bar. The pub is a genuine local with a community
focus and it would be good to support it as it competes against the Wetherspoons
across the road. There will be free tea and coffee available from a machine at the
entrance.
There will be three walks offered by the Exeter & District Group.
A long and moderate 10/11-mile walk.
A medium walk which will be around 7/8 miles
And a shorter walk, which will incorporate some of Okehampton’s local
history which will be 5 miles.
All the walks will leave at 10.30am.
There will also be a Photographic Competition which will be judged
independently, for which there will be a £25.00 prize.
The theme for this year’s competition is ‘What makes Devon a special place to
walk’.
Photos to be taken between 1 September 2024 and 1 September 2025, maximum
of three entries per person. The result will be announced at 10.15am before the
walks start.
