What we’re about
We are a friendly and successful outdoor group. Our group is long established with the majority of our members living within the Ealing, Ruislip & Harrow & nearby areas.
We offer a wide variety of outdoor activities led by experienced walk leaders. Our core programme offers a weekly hike, about 20 weekends away each year, training in map reading & leadership skills. Evening walks and social events. We also arrange camping trips, regular cycle rides (off road & on road) and organise hill walking, horse riding hacks, sailing adventures, caving & canoeing excursions as part of our weekends away. Our YHA group name is Harrow Outdoor Group.
We benefit from our own hall where we arrange regular social events, BBQs, new members social evenings, training events and an annual awards ceremony where everyone can join up to celebrate the year, Anyone can attend our hall event if they want to meet us before joining us on a walk or weekend away. We offer a lively social programme with drinks socials at local pubs & regular new members meal events.
As we are affiliated to the YHA (since 1931) we benefit from YHA discounts at all hostels. We are a non profit making voluntary group. Thus we can offer very competitively priced trips away. We have long experience of camping trips; all our sites allow camp fires and bbqs.
Membership provides benefits such as affiliated YHA membership and discounts at all major outdoor shops. Come along to any of our events on the calendar, if any questions contact us on “meetup@hawog.org.uk" For our full current programme see
