THE North Devon group of The Ramblers is inviting everyone interested in walking and the countryside to visit its stand at the North Devon Show on Wednesday, August 5.

Group chairman, Joan Long, said: "Do come along and have a chat with the members manning our stand at the show.

"Joining the Ramblers is about so much more than walking with a group, in fact 75 per cent of our members do not choose to walk with their local group. Ramblers is the number one charity working for walkers and much of our work takes place behind the scenes where we liaise with the Devon County Council, Exmoor National Park and other countryside organisations."

"Many people harbour misconceptions about our organisation, our image and the style and substance of our work but everyone who enjoys a country walk is benefiting from the Ramblers' work over the past 75 years. Come along and prepare to have your opinions altered."

If you can't be at the show, contact the group's Secretary, Jan, on (01271) 376714 or check out its website at: - www.northdevonramblers.co.uk
