What we’re about
Hike & Get Merry is open to anyone over 18 who enjoys an outdoors adventure with friendly, like minded social people. We are passionate about hiking (check out our programme of upcoming events), camping, paddling, we enjoy pub socials, festivals, live music, theatre trips and weekends away.
The group is free to join with no annual subscription fees, although we do charge a small hike fee to cover the costs of the group:- doing recces, MeetUp Fees and to ensure the group has appropriate insurance.
Our experienced hike leaders are friendly, knowledgeable and care about your safety. We want you to a have a great experience. You can have great fun day out for less than the price of a coffee!
As with any group, it's important that we set some simple rules in order to promote respect, to ensure the safety of yourself and and all members, so that we all enjoy the experience. So we ask members: -
- Do you agree to be respectful to all members of the group?
- That you understand that you may be turned away from a hike if you don't have appropriate kit for the conditions.
- That you confirm you are over 18 years of age.
- That you agree to take responsibility for your own health and appropriate fitness prior to joining an event.
- It's important that your profile photo is a true likeness of you, so that you are recognisable.
- If you can no longer make an event that you are due to attend, or are running late, its important that you keep the event host informed. This is respectful and courteous to the host and all other attendees.
Once you have been out on a couple of hikes with us, you are welcome to join our Facebook site where you can also share your H&GM adventures with the group.
Let's meet up, Hike & Get Merry!
