What we’re about
Our goal is to provide day walking activities for those who like to challenge themselves with walks that are slightly longer and quicker than similar groups. Our walks are typically between 10 and 14 miles long and we walk at a pace of around 3.2 miles per hour, which is faster than similar groups.
We like to think of ourselves as a walking group that is does social; rather than a social group that does walks. To this end, we have a few common-sense rules designed to keep us all safe and happy.
We love to see new members and we'll always try and make you feel welcome. We can all remember what it was like turning up to our very first event.
Our group is run in a professional way with trained leaders, group insurance and a dedicated outdoor first aider. We carry out risk assessment and always ensure you're in good hands.
There's no charge to join the group and your first couple of walks are free. After that, we ask that you pay £5 per year to help us cover our Meetup and insurance costs.
All our day walks are posted on this group. These are mostly on a Sunday and the occasional Saturday. Our weekend getaways are not listed here but listed on a separate Meetup group, which is available to regular walkers by invitation. There is an extra £5 annual fee to join this group. Any applications for the weekend group are subject to approval.
