What we’re about
PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!!
Hi there!
This is the partner group of the 'Inclusive' Hampshire Gay Walkers and what's left of the original Hampshire Gay Men's Walking Group, but primarily it's a walking group for Gay Men (as opposed to LGBTQ+) who would like to meet other guys in a safe, unbiased space on walks and at events across beautiful Hampshire and the surrounding counties of Dorset, Surrey and West Sussex.
Walks are not over long or particularly strenuous, with an average of about 6 miles, usually ending at a pub or eatery along the way and we aim to cover all areas, but would always welcome suggestions, or Walk Leaders* prepared to take them (*just ask for details!)😄
You DO NEED TO JOIN THE MEETUP GROUP before attending a walk - this is so we have some idea who is coming and for health and safety reasons. At the moment there Is NO fee for this, or for the cost of attending a walk, but you are always welcome to show appreciation to the Walk Leader in the pub afterwards 😄, as sometimes a lot of preparation goes into the walk itself! You will also need approval that you meet the terms and conditions of the group, so bear this in mind!
We also have an active WhatsApp group to keep members in touch too:

So come and join us - we hope to see you soon!😁
(N.B. please note, the group is NOT covered by insurance, so you walk entirely at your own risk. If you don't want to appear in publicity photographs, just let the Walk Leader know. Oh and don't forget to bring appropriate clothing, suitable to the weather, suitable footwear and a bottle of water if you get dehydrated. (A walking stick is also useful!)
Walks will ALWAYS go ahead, whatever the weather (this is England, after all!) unless there is a health and safety issue, as your safety is of paramount importance to us!
