What we’re about

Be part of a gathering that shares the pleasures of hiking amongst mysterious strangers, new acquaintances, potential friends and familiar faces.

Join the conversation and talk about anything before, during and after hikes. Be enriched with memorable moments while experiencing the benefits of improved well-being.

Nothing happens when we procrastinate; we just get older. Perhaps you'll relive your youth whilst on another hike event, so join AHE and can come out to play.

Meetup and all Meetup organisers have no legal responsibility for your safety during any Meetup event; please read https://www.meetup.com/terms/paragraph 6(2) regarding a waiver that all members sign on joining Meetup.

Satisfaction Guarantee: If you attend AHE without smiling once and photographic evidence supports such a claim, or you can't make it for some reason after booking. Your contribution may be carried forward upon request to another hike event pro rata. Laughing may occur and is included for free.

As a born and bred Londoner, I started experiencing organised outdoor adventures with the cubs and scouts. I've arranged diverse activities for many organisations, including education providers like an American summer camp and university societies. I've undertaken wilderness first aid instruction at the University of London Union and carry an emergency care kit on hikes. It has been enlightening hiking the Appalachian Trail within the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and life-changing Potomac class 5 white-water rafting. Before it became an Olympic sport, snowboarding in the famous French Alps and more remote -22°C Swedish Sälen mountains broadened my horizons. UK hikes and rock climbing in National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty have included the Lake and Peak Districts, Snowdonia and Pembrokeshire within Wales, plus Cornwall, amongst other British places. My backpacking adventures have included parts of the North and Central Americas, plus interrailing all the compass regions of the EU. Local urban walks are exciting and fun too.
