Upcoming Sessions and Events
Join Mindfully Wild CIC for a friendly 3.5-mile guided loop walk from St Thomas in Exeter to Ide as part of the Wellbeing Exeter Walking Festival on Friday 18th September (10am-1pm).
As part of the walk, we'll stop at The Twisted Oak pub for around 20–30 minutes to take a water quality sample as part of the Great UK Waterblitz. You'll learn how we monitor the health of the river and find out how you can get involved in future river monitoring sessions, practical conservation activities, and restoration work.
Bring a drink for the stop, or, if The Twisted Oak is open, you're welcome to purchase refreshments while we carry out the water sampling. Booking essential
