About Our Walks

 We organise walks every Sunday.  Each walk is carefully planned and reconnoitred by volunteer members, bearing in mind the ages and abilities of those who may be walking.
Walks range over Dartmoor, the Devon and Cornish coast and inland through pretty villages, along interesting waterways and rural lanes. 


They are usually between 6 and 8 miles, although the distance can vary depending on the leader’s choice. They are moderately paced with stops for coffee and a packed lunch. We ask that walkers do not overtake the leader unless invited to do so. 


All walks include a back marker, who can alert the walk leader to wait if the back of the group drops too far behind, or if there are any problems that occur out of sight of the leader. Sometimes, if convenient, the walk may finish with tea and cake! 

What to bring section

What to bring on a Walk

  • Drink and a snack for mid-morning coffee break
  • Packed lunch and a drink
  • Waterproof clothing – to be worn or carried
  • Walking boots (preferable) or strong shoes with a good grip
  • Spare footwear to change into at the end of a walk – many drivers do not wish their car interiors to become muddy!
  • Some walks may be suitable for well-controlled dogs – but please check with the leader 

 Non-drivers who are passengers are asked to contribute towards petrol and car parking costs. Those who live outside Okehampton may sometimes find it convenient to go straight to the start point of the walk. In this case, they are asked to inform the walk leader in advance so that they can be contacted if the leader has to make any last-minute changes. 

An informal and friendly independent group, with members drawn mainly from Okehampton and the surrounding area.

We normally organise at least one club holiday a year, sometimes two. Some are arranged through HF Holidays, others are arranged independently at a hotel and area of our choosing. We normally choose areas within the West Country although some have been further away. Holidays are organised by volunteers so the ultimate choice is theirs. In the past, regions have included Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, the Isle of Wight, Church Stretton, the Brecon Beacons and the Cotswolds.
