Yet Another Hiking Group in Luxembourg

Welcome to "Yet Another Hiking Group in Luxembourg"!

Please read all of the below carefully before you apply to become a group member, and please read it again in case you will be refused or don't get a reply!

What is YAHGIL about?

This group is about hiking in Luxembourg.
Most times REALLY in Luxembourg, but sometimes in the surrounding countries, like Belgium, France or Germany.
Most times it is ONLY about hiking, but sometimes it may include picnics, swimming, or barbecue.
Most times it will not rain, we promise! And if it does, we apologize in advance, but we will hike anyway :)
Most times it will be brisk walks between 15 and 20km, but sometimes it can be just a light promenade. In winter it might be sometimes too cold for more than 10km.

Who can apply?

Everyone passionate about hiking is welcome.
If you are not trained at all, you might consider not joining the hard ones first, but once in a while there will be hikes suitable for beginners, just read the description for each event carefully.
Like other Outdoor Activity groups, we want real people only, we intend to keep fakes and spammers out.
A rule about a "clearly recognizable profile photo" is existing here as well, for this reason.
If there is any reason for not having such a photo, let's talk about it. Send us a message if your application was rejected or not answered, and make sure that we can reply, check your mailbox settings.

Who are we?

The group owners are hiking in Luxembourg and the greater region since early 2019. We're organizing hikes for almost the same period, on a regular basis, unless we have other private activities. There will be a hike at least once per month, sometimes weekly, as time permits.
Especially if we know you already for a while, if you're reliable and interested in organizing hikes as well, we can talk about it and you may become an organizer in the group

What are we looking for?

We look for beautiful routes, new ones to explore, and the best ones to be repeated occasionally.
And we're looking for nice people to join us, good discussions during the hikes, but also enjoying the silence and the sound of nature.
If you happen to know about a beautiful route, we're always open for suggestions, but be aware that we cannot consider every idea and we cannot promise if and when we go somewhere.

What do we expect from you?

Be gentle with the new group owners. Organizing hikes is what we are used to, managing a MeetUp group not yet.
And be gentle to each other, be polite, we don't tolerate any harassment.
During Covid-19 it is still a challenge, we don't encourage car-pooling with too many and unknown people in a car, but if you get to know each other, or if you're comfortable with mask-wearing in the car, if you're vaccinated or got through Covid already, you might find passengers or people who offer a ride.
Besides that, we always suggest public transport options, if possible.

Final remarks?

There are comprehensive charters existing in other groups, we try to get around it without that, although most of the listed points absolutely make sense and they are valid here as well without the need to state it. Our group, our rules.
The necessary legal minimum to claim: All Events are at your own risk, there is no liability by the hosts for any damage. Also, each participant is responsible for respecting the sanitary measures that might be in place in the particular moment, like distance and mask-wearing.

If you made it here, congratulations!
Welcome to YAGHIL, we're looking forward to hiking with you!
