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 .

    Bluebell Walk through the Blean  **FULLY BOOKED**

    Bluebell Walk through the Blean **FULLY BOOKED**

    Clowes Wood Car Park, Radfall Road, CT5 3ER, GB

    Book via website

    This spring walk takes us through the heart of the Blean, one of Kent’s most extensive and ecologically rich woodland landscapes. Starting from Clowes Wood, we’ll follow woodland paths and patches of open countryside before entering East Blean Woods, where carpets of bluebells transform the forest floor into a vivid wash of colour.
    Our route begins in Clowes Wood, a peaceful area of mixed woodland that comes alive at this time of year as early flowers begin to emerge. From here, we will continue through this ancient woodland before entering several open fields, then pass into East Blean Woods as the landscape gradually returns to dense woodland.
    As we enter the East Blean Woods National Nature Reserve, the character of the walk shifts. Ancient woodland surrounds us, and the ground becomes a dense, vibrant display of native bluebells. Time will be given to pause, explore, and enjoy this seasonal spectacle in one of Kent’s most celebrated natural settings.
