Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
At this time of year the Coast path on the north coast is nice and quiet, last few times ive been out ive not seen a sole, till i passed through the occasional village.
Then when summer time comes i drop onto the beaches and still fine solitude. And the occasional Lobster on spring tides
. Remember to check your tides before going too far

We're off to Devon camping in about three weeks, I'll find out where it is, because they are happy for open fires to be made.

Obviously I never meant to condone camping on the coast path
Tho Ive never gotten a straight answer when i looked into overnights on the beach (above the tide line of course).

Hi,
I'm also based in Devon (Exeter), if anybody finds some nice places to practice bushcraft or if you fancy arranging a BCUK meetup then I'd be up for it.
Dying to get out but got nobody to go with <sob>uppy_dog

Hi all
Have just joined this forum today but it looks impressive
I am always happy to meet up with any one in the Devon area, I live in Tiverton, have been checking out the Wood near Bolham, just outside of Tiverton need to find out who owns it and whether it could be used.
Theres a small wood that I have used a couple of times with a mate in North Devon. My mate is good friends with the owner. So not sure if it could be used all the time.

I'm starting to find that Haldon is much more interesting than it first appears.
Having ridden it quite a bit during the earlier part of the winter, and generally explored a bit more, I now realise that there is quite a bit of poking around to be done there. It's pretty extensive end-to-end, so finding a quiet spot is possible ...
I'd suggest a look at the woods around Hennock too, the lakes up there make for good walking. The coast path, south beyond Torbay is spectacular, and in season, has some useful camping sites along it, so you can camp in peace.
Southwards, over the ridge at Haldon, you'll be spoilt for choice, Dartmoor to your right hand, the coast and countryside on the left ...

I'm a Sussex local but at uni in Exeter. I have a friend lives in north Devon and I visited him this weekend, we spent saturday at Heddons Mouth on the North Coast which is an amazing spot. On the coast path and popular but still quite for the moment, especially if you stray from the path between the car park and the beach.
On sunday we checked out the next little inlet, Woody Bay. The place is spectacular! Not a soul in sight tho there is a big hotel so that sadly probably isn't the case in summer. We wandered (or rather hacked through deep rhododendron up pretty alarmingly steep slopes) off the track and I stumbled face to face with 14 magnificent red deer hinds about 15 yards away before they casually wandered off!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING but tragically, no camera!
I'd be up for anything in Devon, as I'm sure my friend would. We've decided we definately have to plan a summer trip with some friends some time soon!!
