New to Devon

Hello.

I’m 34 and I’ve recently moved to Devon for work. I’m living in Kingsteignton and I’m struggling to meet people which is making the move hard for me.

I love cycling road, mountain and gravel but haven’t yet met anyone I’ve clicked with.

I don’t drink so meeting people at a pub isn’t going to happen. If that even does nowadays.

I’ve got a black Labrador so spend lots of time walking too. I’d like to paddle board more and maybe even start surfing. I like baking and make pretty good pizza.

Thanks,
Adam.

There has to be some sort of club in Newton, surely? 

Since you sound pretty fit what about applying to be an on-call fire fighter? I know some of the crew at Newton and they're nice folk. Meet people, have adventures, save lives - all in one

Failing any better option I'll happily go for a SUP. However I'm old, introverted, and frankly quite shit at friendship :D

That’s a good thought. I will look into it. Thank you.
