Welcome to the official programme for the Dartmoor Walking Festival! The Walking Festival is being run for the first time by Moorland Guides, and full details of these walks – and more – are listed at www.dartmoorwalkingfestival.co.uk and www.moorlandguides.co.uk. The festival runs from Saturday 27 August until Sunday 4 September inclusive, covers all areas of Dartmoor and is open to all ages and abilities. It will be very clearly marketed as ‘Dartmoor on your Doorstep’. The National Trust and Dartmoor National Park are fully supporting the week with Ranger-led walks as well as archaeological visits and events which are detailed on our website as well. The Dartmoor Search and Rescue Group is also supporting the week. If you have ever wondered what they do when searching for missing walkers in the dark then come and join them on an evening exercise to find out more! Local speakers will be putting on a variety of evening illustrated Dartmoor-themed talks at the National Park Visitor Centre in the square at . The week will culminate in a celebration event at the Prince of Wales public house in Princetown. Many thanks to the Dartmoor Magazine for including our programme with their summer 2016 issue.

We have been keeping people warm, dry and equiped not just on Dartmoor but all over the world on many different adventures. We have learnt a lot since we opened in 1986, from personal experience and more importantly listening to the many stories we hear in store from our customers. The one thing that always stands out is that nothing impacts a great adventure more than being unprepared. When you’re outside, be prepared, have the right gear and everything else falls into place.
