Dartmoor Spring Bank Holiday Break Walking and Social Long Weekend

JUST TWO PLACES LEFT FOR THIS BRILLIANT FULLY CATERED LONG WEEKEND - JUST £139

One of our favourite spots with loads of brilliant walking and cycling options.

NOTE THAT THE SOUTH WEST COAST TO COAST BIKE RIDE IS NOT AN OPTION ON THIS EVENT BUT A SEPARATE EVENT ENTIRELY.

Dartmoor is one of the largest undeveloped land areas in the UK and has these very unusual hills called 'tors' (some 160 in all) which is where the granite pokes through the surrounding area. Tor bagging is so much fun as in the picture above! There are also some stunningly beautiful river valleys and gorges so from a walking point of view we are spoiled for choice.

Our accommodation is right on the edge of Dartmoor with immediate access to the moor but is also on the edge of the rather lovely town of Okehampton complete with up market Wetherspoons and several other great hostelries.

There will definitely be a short 'bonus' walk for those that can make a Friday midday start with general arrival from 6pm+ and a choice of walks on Saturday, Sunday and Monday so hopefully something for everyone. Although there are no mountains nearby don't be fooled, as there are harder as well as easier options. Dartmoor is a major training area for the UK Army so some of you can find out why!

Whilst our prime emphasis is on walking it is also a great area for trail cycling and mountain biking if there are those interested. Some fantastic horse riding is also available nearby from a stables that rides out straight onto the moors. The owners of Bracken Tor also operate an Outdoor Centre not far away so bike hire and watersports on their private lake are also possibilities. Potentially a full four day break in great surroundings and great company for less than the cost of a single night in a hotel or B & B. Amazing.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday night we'll have a selection of food including catering for those with any special dietary requirements that we are notified about. We'll also bring a variety of board games, giant jenga and our well used bluetooth speaker so staying in is an option as well as going out on the town.

Accommodation is single sex bunk rooms of a variety of sizes with full bedding provided but not towels.

Our usual breakfasts, lunch pack-ups and hot drinks will of course be included on all three days of the weekend.

We will also be hosting participants in our South West Coast to Coast (C2C) Bike Ride listed as a separate events.

This trip can now be booked for just £139 (THREE NIGHTS) for which £40 is non refundable payable when you book to which will be added Meetup booking fees. You can also pay via BACS without Meetup booking fees but you must tell us you are doing this so we can add you to the event manually.

Our bank don't immediately tell us who payments are from so if you can put in the reference your name and the name of the event that will be a huge help in reconciling payments quickly e.g. ConwayDartmoor !

If you have to cancel more than 28 clear days before the event start date you will get a full refund less the deposit paid or £40 whichever is the least. No refunds will be provided to those cancelling with less than 28 clear days notice. ("clear" means does not include event start date or cancellation date!)

Obviously if circumstances change and we are unable to go ahead full refunds will be made without cancellation charges of any sort.

Other meetup groups do trips at similar venues for more than twice our price which is only possible as all our organisers and walk leaders are unpaid volunteers and we only seek to cover our costs on weekends.

It would not be possible to provide the range of events we do or to cover the cost of insurance and now increasing Meetup fees if we were not a subscription based group which means paying an annual subscription of £10pa or a Life Membership subscription in which case further payments are not necessary.

If attending our weekends away as an unpaid or lapsed subscriber or as a non member guest you are required to pay an additional £10 when balances become due.
