BACKABUSH XPLORERS - Hiking & Outdoor Adventure Meetup Group

Backabush Xplorers was created by a multinational group of friends who wanted to get more out of their weekends and explore the National Parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty in England and Wales.

It all started with a few friends gathering in a scruffy camping barn somewhere rural and pretty but gradually developed from there.

Although most people in the group are in their 20s, 30s and 40s age is not an issue to us - a fun loving and sociable nature is more important. It is not uncommon to have over a dozen different nationalities represented in a single gathering.

Our groups vary in size but on every trip some people will be regulars and some first timers. Its a great way to make new friends and you need not worry about coming alone as you will always be made to feel welcome.

We hope you will join us sometime soon.

Positive vibes!

  Hi, On the event page, it says that there is place for only 60 people but already 76 people have signed up. Are there still any place available?

- Geoff:
  There are still places available on the trip. Beds are allocated on a first to pay basis so the RSVP numbers are actually fairly meaningless. If you send payment your RSVP is 100% guaranteed.
