@YHAOfficial festival of walking starting 4 Sept, here's a favourite poster from the early 1930s. There's been many incarnations over the years on reports and handbooks, but it probably first appeared as a Southern Rail poster. @mrcravenracont @anitakntweets @SallyNuts @Fredbat

25 years ago YHA Okehampton opened its doors for first time. Today families, friends, staff & former staff are all celebrating! Thanks to Guide Dogs, North Dartmoor Search and Rescue team & Dave Rich Music for helping us celebrate. Shame the railway are on strike! @YHAOfficial

Another glorious day in Devon, I don’t think I’ve seen so much sun on Dartmoor! Today the @VCCcadets attending #VCCSummerCamp continued their AT, with more cycling, archery, kayaking, rafting and high ropes. “Today was brilliant Sir, I finally got over my fear of heights!”👍🏻 – at South West, England

Those looking for the climbing wall at Oke show today, this year we are close to the Music stage, not up by the dog ring!

Parents, have your kids missed their #residentials this year? Why not book a room at @YHAOkehampton and then book one or more of our activity days for social bubbles. Then you will see what fun the kids would have had with us. @YHAOfficial @planschooltrips adventureokehampton.com/adve…

Teachers, here at Adventure Oke in Devon we’ve been working on “social bubble”activities until #residentials can resume. We can assist with outdoor learning offsite and onsite, regulations permitting. Get in touch! @YHAOfficial @UKSchoolTrips @planschooltrips

Dartmoor has the highest density of Bronze Age structures in Europe. Plenty within walking distance of YHA Okehampton and YHA Dartmoor @YHAOfficial @VisitDartmoor
"This here is a fine example of a middle bronze age scratching post." 🐮🧐 Fancy yourself an amateur archaeologist? Fascinated by #Dartmoor's past? Scratch your itch and explore somewhere new this weekend with our Heritage Trails Map: bit.ly/31Ge619 #FridayFeeling

This is an amazing change in our energy production. Happy to say that our energy provider is one of the 100% renewables.
It’s official. The UK has gone two whole months without coal power and there is no immediate end in sight to the coal free run. Renewables have provided more power than fossil fuels this year. People said this couldn’t be done. And yet, it’s happening. businessgreen.com/news/40162…

Great news Claire! Thanks for sharing, maybe teachers have more time to see what else is offer around the country
I was intrigued to see how many searches we had on ukschooltrips.co.uk since schools closed. I was amazed to see: Mar 19131 Apr 9247 May 10240. Such a pleasant surprise. I'd thought it would be very few. In January we had 41459 searches. Thankyou so much for using our site.

Outdoor learning is so valuable. Our team are proud that we contribute to YHA targets by partnering with YHA, Rotary Clubs, OUC and others. Let’s keep up the good work increasing participants on Dartmoor by 2025. @JamesBlakeYHA @dartmoornpa @VisitDevonUK @VisitDartmoor
