Absolutely! Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or a first-time explorer, our community is designed to welcome everyone with open arms. Since we're recently launching, the majority of our community members will be in the same boat—excited to meet other like-minded outdoorsy people!

If you're 18 or over and live in and around London, you're invited to this event. Our diverse crew welcomes all genders with an average age range of 20-45. You don't need to be mega fit, but be prepared for a reasonably long hike!

Should I bring snacks and water with me?

Snacks and water are a must! Bring a couple of reusable water bottles, especially if the weather turns warm. We'll provide pastries and breakfast snacks, however you may need more to keep you going!

Can I bring my dog?

Well behaved dogs are allowed, however we cannot guarantee that all stiles are dog friendly. Dogs will need to go on leads when walking through livestock or near roads.

Will I have to carry my things?

Yes and pack light! Opt for a comfortable backpack and keep your load minimal, especially considering the steep hills along the route.

What should I wear?

Dress comfortably and practically! Hiking gear, walking boots, or comfy trainers are perfect. Flip flops might be a great for the end if your feet get tired. Given the unpredictable English weather, bring extra layers and a waterproof jacket just in case.
