What we’re about
Must all meetup groups in London be fully booked or ridiculously expensive?! Not here!!
Explore Britain and the Great British outdoors free of charge by connecting with walkers, hikers and outdoor lovers!
We are different from most outdoor Meetup Groups because
- we are 100% free & community-driven;
- we are a group of friends, not a business;
- we do different activity types and levels;
- anyone may organize a walk/trip. You, too!
How does it work?
- You only pay for your train tickets and accommodation (if necessary)
- If possible we will share ticket costs and discounts (e.g. GroupSave)
Who should join this group?
- Anyone who loves the outdoors:
- All ages and experience levels;
- Check each individual event's details to decide if it's suitable for you.
What are the rules?
Because each event has a different organizer, please read each event's rules carefully, e.g. some trips may have limited places due to safety reasons;
Get ready for unforgettable adventures, forests, ancient castles, prehistoric ruins, valley walks and hills, weekend breaks and day walks - along the English coasts, the mountains of Wales and the Highlands of Scotland - all for free!

"We live in an age that makes truth pass for treason"
Algernon Sidney 7/12/1683When the necessary two witnesses to prosecute Algernon Sidney could not be found, his unpublished book Discourses Concerning Government was called as a 'witness' against him, and on this day the sentence reliant on that witness's evidence was executed.
Sidney grew up at Penshurst Place, the ancestral home of the Sidney family since 1552, amid the hilly wooded Weald, returned there from self-imposed exile 17 years after the 1660 Restoration of Charles II, before becoming embroiled in the succession crisis over the King's brother James, and finally returning to Penshurst headless from the Tower of London.
Penshurst village retains much of its Tudor aspect. The church is reached through an ancient lych-gate surrounded by a Tudor house. Inside are numerous occupants of note, as well as the Sidneys. The cafe and gift shop at Penshurst Place will have Christmas fayre on sale:
Porcupine Pantry CafeAfter lunch break at Penshurst, the walk ventures further into the Weald, bound for Tunbridge Wells.

IMPORTANT
Please bear in mind this is a free of charge, self-guided trip with a hobby group. It is not organized by a business nor any entity with commercial purposes.
Any trip details, travel advice, route planning, instructions and other content in our group merely represent our shared personal knowledge, research and suggestions as outdoor enthusiasts. As this is no business, there is no "product", "service" or "package" and also no "tour guide", "operator" or "walk leader".
Each participant is responsible for their own safety. Even if some of us are very experienced walking outdoors, nobody assumes responsibility for any kind of injury, damage or loss that may happen.
Despite this, we take extreme precautions and all trips we plan are very safe, fun, highly educational and popular. Our experienced members volunteer their time and effort to shape a pleasant and quality adventure for everyone :-)
By participating you acknowledge and agree with this disclaimer.Here are our tips on staying safe during outdoor trips:
https://4142298.xyz/Free-Outdoor-Trips-From-London/about/TRAVEL, ACCOMMODATION, INSURANCE
Although we provide detailed suggestions, each participant is expected to arrange their own travel and (if required) accommodation - this gives everyone the freedom and choice to join from wherever they want and stay wherever they want. Anyone interested in travel or outdoor insurance should also arrange this on their own. As mentioned above we always take extreme precautions, but some people may still feel safer if covered.
We advise not to buy tickets until the day. People getting tickets from the same station are encouraged to meet early on the day to benefit from discounts such as GroupSave.
