About Us

About us:
We are a diverse group of adventurers and hikers ready to take you beyond the bars and clubs of Exeter to some of the United Kingdom's most breathtaking and sometimes challenging areas! We welcome thrill-seekers and nature enthusiasts alike.

Bring your hiking boots or sturdiest trainers, and use your membership to borrow tents, waterproofs, roll mats, sleeping bags and more, all included in the price. From the picturesque and rainy mountains of the Lake District, to the sunny pubs of the South Devon coastline, we cater to all levels of experience and physical ability. Annual highlights include the dark and frozen challenges of our winter trip to the Scottish Highlands and the sunny vistas of our summer trekking trip abroad, recently including the Alps (Tour du Mont Blanc) and the Pyrenees. ExSoc is a place to meet likeminded people keen on adventure. Whilst places on trips are limited, we are committed to taking as many people as we can safely accomodate, often running several trips per weekend and offering over 60 subsidised places on the legendary Christmas Trip to the Mendips! 

We hold socials every Tuesday, including weekly free pizza at our home pub the Old Firehouse! Other socials include board games evenings, pub crawls, club nights, and whatever mayhem the social secs come up with, meaning there really is something for everyone.

Get your membership today, and we look forward to seeing you at the Old Firehouse or on the hill soon! Feel free to get in touch with any questions (Details below)

Mountains of Love,
ExSoc Committee 2024-25
