About us

Boots On Adventures

Welcome to our friendly outdoor group of outdoors lovers where we aim to provide more smiles per mile than any other outdoor group!

We look forward to welcoming you!

Our activities include weekday and weekend walks, night hikes, foraging events, campfires, weekends away (both local and through out England), specialist trips and much more...

Our ethos has always been strongly embedded in building community with the aim to be the most friendliest group in Kent (and I am proud to say that I believe we exceed that thanks to our members).

Dogs are welcome on all walking events unless otherwise stated (please check with us on other events) as long as they are friendly, well behaved and will go on a lead if required such as entering fields of livestock.

The group is run by Ian Henderson (Lowland Leader) and his partner Erika Patt.

We are fully insured and first aid trained to give you complete peace of mind. The team extends to Sara Hibbins (Lowland Leader) and Peter White (Hill and Moorland) who joins us for the weekend expeditions.

Please feel to check out "Boots On Adventures" on Facebook or our website www.bootsonadventures.co.uk .

    Join us on Wednesday 25th February for a guided countryside walk exploring the landscape surrounding Faversham, Goodnestone, and Graveney. Starting from Faversham Recreation Ground, we’ll leave the town behind and follow quiet paths into the rural countryside.
    Along the way, you’ll experience classic Kentish scenery, including traditional hop fields and orchards that reflect the area’s long agricultural heritage. Our route includes visits to Goodnestone Church and Graveney Church, offering moments to appreciate their history and setting within the local landscape.
    The walk then joins the Saxon Shore Way, following its distinctive route through historic boatyards and along the Wharf, before returning to Faversham. This walk is ideal for those who enjoy gentle exploration, local history, and discovering lesser-known routes through the Kent countryside.

This is a chance to step into pubs once visited by figures like Charles Dickens and Samuel Pepys, explore hidden corners of the town’s past, and enjoy the atmosphere of Maidstone’s most characterful drinking spots.

With plenty of time to sample beer, wine, gin, or your drink of choice, this tour blends history and hospitality into a fun and memorable day out.
