There will be a day hike on Saturday around Dartmoor if you want (you can do your own thing as well instead though!)

You want atmosphere?  Dartmoor at the end of Winter has all the atmosphere you can handle.  

The rolling mists across the moor and gathering around a cosy fire, keeping the Beasts of the Wilderness at bay.

Come join OutdoorLads in exploring the wilds of Dartmoor National Park this February. 

If you want to get away from it all, out hostel in Dartmoor is the perfect spot - high above the headwaters of the River Dart, surrounded by the Bellever forest, with wide open moorlands and high granite tors - ancient volcanic plugs - roamed by the famous wild Dartmoor ponies, who often pay a visit! 

OutdoorLads hostels are a great way to quickly meet new friends and find out about what we do. This is a perfect chance to try an OutdoorLads hostel for the first time, it'll be fun, relaxed and a good chance to enjoy a weekend with fellow OutdoorLads and tick off that New Years Resolution to get out and about more in 2025!. 

If you would like to know more about our hostel events, why not have a read of our 'My First Hostel Event' guide?

What will we be doing?

Friday:

Friday will be the traditional chilled welcome evening with a chance to catch up and see friends old and new.  We'll have the usual welcome buffet (so please bring something for that) and then relax around the log fire in the lounge.

Saturday:

On the Saturday there will be an option to join me for a walk around the surrounding area towards picturesque Dartsmeet through Bellever Forest and over Bellever Tor where you can get a wide view over the Lonely Moorland of Dartmoor.  

Saturday Evening there will be a hearty meal and then a chance to unwind and relax, chat and have a drink or two.  Feel free to bring your own entertainment, such as board games, if you want.

Sunday:

We'll be basing a short 2 hour walk on Sunday morning around nearby Widecombe on the Moor with an optional lunch at either the Old Inn or Cafe on the Green in Widecombe itself before the weekend ends and everyone starts the journey home again.
