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!
Our #YHA pop up cafe “Bulleid Buffet” has been busy today serving Bacon Baps and Coffee to customers at Okehampton Station! Well done team @anitakntweets @JamesBlakeYHA @maddog7529 @YHAOfficial @DartmoorLine @GWRHelp
Riding on board the GWR train on the first day of service to Exeter- so great that our customers can now arrive by train as well as car/walk or cycle. Another plus misses traffic jam at marsh Barton

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
Great news, but still awaiting news of overnight stays. Lots of disappointed children have missed their summer trips.

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.

@thekettlewell We’ve no answer to the “when to wear overtrousers” either. On Dartmoor we have horizontal rain which tests most waterproofs and whichever you decide (on or off) it will be wrong @YHAOfficial @VisitDartmoor
It really isn’t looking as warm as it has been and I feel like I have never quite got the question of whether or not to wear over trousers right. It is still good to be outside though! @thekettlewell #hostel @YHAOfficial @indiehostelsuk

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

Dartmoor has some wonderful wildlife but this beauty is a rarity, and in UK can only be found on Dartmoor. @DartmoorNPA have a plan to increase sites and species needs habitat management
Fortunate to come across this smart-looking national rarity in late afternoon sunshine yesterday - a bog hoverfly, found on Dartmoor and nowhere else in Britain. @dartmoornpa @Buzz_dont_tweet @StevenFalk1 @JWentomologist @DipteristsForum @kcumbre1 @Dartmoor_AC

Everyone has time to notice the little things that change on their daily walks
On the way up to #ProvidencePot there is a wall that is increasingly precarious and looks like it will fall over really soon! #wallwatch @thekettlewell #hostel #newboringhobby @YHAOfficial @indiehostelsuk
