Walking Britian

Find A Walk Near Me by Walking Britain is a truly excellent and free resource. Just enter where you are or where you would like to walk - and print out directions. The walks are graded and you can buy a specific map of the area at the same time. These are proper OS maps and weather proofed if required.

I always think of walking as one of the few activities you can do for free - and now you can with this guide!

YHA Okehampton Youth Hostel

Klondyke Rd, Okehampton EX20 1EW, UK – 01837 53916

Staff friendly and helpful. Building well maintained. Games room week stocked cost 50 pence for pool and fussball. Food was good price and kids under 10 ate free with a paying adult. Breakfast good though the coffee was undrinkable sachets (please get proper coffee as it let's breakfast down). Beds comfy but some pillows flat and hard and some beds so squeaky that kept others awake in room. Room 32 lower bunk on left was terrible. Overall pleasant stay. Kitchen with fridge and freezer great!

Great YHA in a good location - staff excellent and nice and clean. A star less as the kitchen was a bit low on equipment amd could be better. I do worry that YHA is getting too hotel like and expensive though....
