Our group walks are usually about 6-8 miles. This can be on all types of terrain, including open moorland so participants do need to be reasonably fit and to be equipped with appropriate clothing and footwear.

September 2025
We enjoyed a walk from Ermington. Ably led by Mel we found some tiny lanes, the delightful hamlet at Penquit, and followed footpaths through fields and beside the river. There were a couple of showers and our sandwiches did get a little damp but we all enjoyed ourselves with lots of chat and laughter.

July 2025
Our expedition was from Burrator this month. We visited Crazy Well Pool (the one that legend says is bottomless!) and then followed the Devonport Leat. Here we met a huge digger driven by a young lady who was clearing the leat and keeping the water flowing. We returned by way of the Down Tor stone row and Kistvaens and, egged on by Ken, we climbed to the top of Down Tor to admire the view. From there 23 tors are visible as well as Burrator reservoir!!

June 2025
The group enjoyed a walk from Buckfast Abbey. A lovely stretch beside the River Dart and then up to the viewpoint of Hembury Castle Fort. From there it was mainly downhill back to the Abbey for well earned tea and cakes.

May 2025
The group walked to Cofflete Creek and Traine Woods where the bluebells were lovely. It was a very hot day and we didn’t all finish the walk at the same time as some chose a shorter return - but we are all here to tell the tale!

April 2025
The group enjoyed a stunning walk from East Soar around Bolt Head to Overbecks. It was good to welcome some new members to the group. Many thanks to Paul for leading us.

March 2025
We started our March walk from the site of the old RAF Harrowbeer Airfield at Yelverton, walking east to join the long disused Drake's Leat, following it for some way before walking towards Clearbrook, then taking a circular route back to Yelverton, a distance of over 6 miles

20 walkers all enjoyed the relatively mild and dry early Spring weather. It was an overcast day, but clear, which enabled us to appreciate the distant moorland views

Autumn 2024
The group enjoyed a walk from Loddiswell with paths through woods and beside the river Avon. We even found a large picnic table in the middle of nowhere.
