Exeter & District Ramblers

Watern Wander 2/2

A superb walk led by one of our regular walk leaders, Bob Pond. An +11 mile meander to the north west of Fernworthy reservoir. A favourite area for many walkers, hikers and ramblers. Some images courtesy of Lisa Templeton.

E&D Ramblers were out and about yesterday with a 10 mile trek on Dartmoor. Starting at Princetown we headed to Hart Tor, Devonport Leat through Standlake Plantation to Norsworthy, Cuckoo Rock before returning South Hessary Tor. Thanks to Lisa Templeton for these great pictures!

Really heavy downpours here in Exeter and East Devon today. The kids in the primary school in Tipton St John were stranded and had to be rescued by the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service. More intense rainfall is exactly what we expect from #ClimateChange

In full swing tree planting today and it’s being filmed so we can tell people about the important role of trees in fighting climate change #ClimateEmergency #clystvalley

Lovely colours everywhere on our morning walk today! #dartmoor #devon

St Martin's Forest School pupils at Cranbrook met Rexy the dinosaur to find out why they should plant trees! Help us on 11 Feb - book your place! eventbrite.co.uk/e/plant-a-wood…

The following has been released today by the @dartmoornpa regarding ongoing efforts to provide access to #wildcamping on #Dartmoor

Not good enough ⚠️ Today's agreement on #Dartmoor is encouraging progress but not enough. Our permissive rights today can be taken away tomorrow. The legal right to wild camp needs to be re-established & we'll support @dartmoornpa to achieve this. 🏕️ ➡️beta.ramblers.org.uk/news/dartmoor-…

A fantastic article from @HelenJRBruce1 concerning our folkloric heritage on Dartmoor is featured in our latest edition of Dartmoor Matters. Our member's magazine is available for free in many local outlets in Princetown and Tavistock, plus local libraries.
