North Devon Ramblers

North Devon Ramblers

by Janet Ellis

Do you like being outdoors, discovering new places, meeting people and preserving the countryside? If so, perhaps you might consider joining the Ramblers.

Not only do we play a valuable role in checking and ensuring the maintenance of our footpaths, but we also offer a variety of walks exploring the local area.

I joined the North Devon group of Ramblers 2 years ago and am still finding places and paths that I didn’t know existed! Walks of varying lengths are offered twice a week; the weekday walks tend to be shorter (4-6 miles), while the weekend walks are usually longer (8-12 miles).

You can find out about all the walks on our website: ramblers.org.uk/north-devon or contact our secretary, Janice Hurdle; janicehurdle@hotmail.co.uk - you can also find us on Facebook North Devon Ramblers.

It doesn’t cost a lot to join, the walks are free and all our walk leaders are volunteers. We try to car-share or use the bus where possible. If you would like to try it out first, you can join us for 3 walks before signing up. Once you have joined, you can then walk with other Rambler groups all over the country! Why not give it a go?
