Devon Bootlegs

We are a large active, fun group of walking enthusiasts from a wide range of backgrounds. We love to get out and explore the beautiful Devon countryside and aim to organise walks every Sunday throughout the year. We often arrange a post-walk meal in the Pub so we can have a bit of socialising after the walk too. If you’re looking for a lively group then get in touch or just turn up to the next walk, we are always pleased to welcome new members.

Where we meet

Our walks are generally on a Sunday (although sometimes we do organise a Saturday walk) and these are mainly in Devon but occasionally we venture further afield into Cornwall, Dorset and Somerset. Our walks page gives all the details of where to meet and who to get in touch with if you have any questions or queries. Sometimes our walkers offer to car share and details will be given within the Upcoming Walk information.

What to bring

Wear appropriate footwear and clothing (and bring spare shoes/clothing if the weather is wet or you are car sharing). Suitable clothing will depend on the time of the year, walk location and weather conditions (e.g. hat/gloves, waterproof clothing). Denim jeans are not suitable for cold, wet conditions, as they take a long time to dry out and have a high wind chill factor. For most walks it is a good idea to bring a packed lunch and plenty of fluids. If you need any more advice before coming on a walk, please do get in touch or email/phone the walk leader whose details will be in the Upcoming Walk information.

How to Join

Please come and join us for up to three walks, after which time you are expected to join the Ramblers Association (to which this group is affiliated). The membership prices are shown on the Ramblers website. We aim to have a walks programme throughout the year and sometimes we organise ad-hoc social events. It’s a very friendly, fun group and we have a membership of walkers from 20s to 50s. We are one of many Ramblers Association walking groups, if you are not sure if this is the right group for you, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Join online or contact Devon Bootlegs at ku.gro.sgeltoobnoved@sgeltoobnoved.

To become a member of Devon Bootlegs you should be in your 20's to 50's and you will need to join the Ramblers Association, which will allocate you to a local group. You must specify Devon Bootlegs as your selected local group. The Ramblers Association will then pass on your details to the Devon Bootlegs Membership Secretary. If you provided an email address when you joined the Ramblers, then you will be added to the Devon Bootlegs email list automatically. If you are already a Ramblers Association member with another local group you will need to transfer to Devon Bootlegs if you want to become a full Devon Bootlegs member. Our email list is strictly for Devon Bootlegs Members only.
