Autumn Weekend on Exmoor

Come along to this weekend event in Exmoor with OutdoorLads!
There's always something a little bit dramatic about being on the Moors. Especially when you're nestled on the northern coast of Exmoor, just a stone's throw from some of the highest cliffs in the country. What better time then to spend a weekend in this beautiful part of the countryside.
We’ll be staying at the Exmoor Bunkhouse - a converted barn owned and managed by the National Trust providing comfortable, high standard accommodation. The bunkhouse is situated at Countisbury on the North Devon coast surrounded by the moors, and the South West coastal path a stones throw away. The linked towns of Lynton and Lynmouth are nearby with stunning coastal views and a water-powered funicular railway – the highest and steepest of its kind in the world!
With so much to offer what's not to like! Surrounded by the dramatic Watersmeet valleys, rugged moorland and an impressive rocky coastline, the Exmoor Bunkhouse is an ideal way to enjoy the tail end of summer.
As this is a bunkhouse please remember to bring either a sleeping bag or duvet.
Dogs: Sorry the Bunkhouse does not allow dogs to stay.
What will we do?
Friday Evening: Arrive, meet the rest of the group and socialise, welcome meeting and chill. We'll have the usual OutdoorLads buffet. Please bring something that can be shared between two or three people.
Saturday Day: After breakfast (which is included in the event cost), we’ll head into the surrounding countryside for a good walk. Please bring a packed lunch with you and maybe pack a flask for a hot drink if it’s cold. Depending on the walk route we may be able to stop off at a local pub too!
Saturday Evening: Relax, socialise, and chillout until Dinner, included in the event cost.
Sunday: After breakfast (and cleaning and tidying the hostel) you are either free to go home or there may be an option for a further walk/trip into Lynmouth for lunch.
