🌊 Our Weekend Plans

Robert will put together a loose itinerary closer to the event. Activities will depend on the weather, tides and sea conditions, so plans may change.

Friday 24 September – Arrivals & Settling In

Most people arrive on Friday and get settled into their accommodation. Some head straight to the beach to make the most of the day before check-in, which is normally from 4:00pm.

It’s a relaxed start to the weekend, with plenty of time to catch up and enjoy the surroundings.

Saturday 25 September – Walking, Surfing & Socialising

Depending on the tides, we’ll start with an easy group walk, including a light-hearted welcome initiation for anyone joining the Croyde Bay group for the first time. It’s a great opportunity to meet everyone.

Afterwards, people normally split into smaller groups to enjoy different activities:

  • Relaxed coastal walks, including a walk towards Putsborough (around 3 miles in total).
  • Longer walks for the more adventurous, sometimes up to 20 miles.
  • Surfing and enjoying the beach when conditions allow.
  • Relaxing back at the accommodation or exploring locally.

🍴 Saturday Evening – 6:30pm

We’ll all meet at The Thatch pub for a friendly evening of food, drinks and conversation.

Sunday 26 September – Choose Your Own Adventure

Sunday is generally a free-for-all day, with everyone choosing what they’d most like to do.

  • Kayaking and paddleboarding.
  • Surfing, bodyboarding and swimming.
  • Exploring nearby bays when conditions are suitable.
  • Visiting a local swimming or leisure pool.
  • Coastal walks, sightseeing and exploring.
  • Reading, relaxing and enjoying some downtime.

Whatever your interests, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy the day!

⛺ Where to Stay

We generally stay at Ruda Holiday Park in Croyde, which offers a range of accommodation options.

  • Static caravans and holiday accommodation.
  • Tents and camping pitches.
  • Touring caravans.
  • Motorhomes.

You’re welcome to book your own accommodation or speak to Robert if you’d like to coordinate with others. Check availability, prices and pet arrangements directly with the holiday park before booking.
