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.

    Two Great Trails = One Cream Tea Walk

    ## 🥾 Two Great Trails = One Cream Tea ☕

    ### ✨ A Quick Intro

    Join us on Sunday, 15 February 2026 for a guided walk from the historic village of Chilham to Chartham, linking two of Kent’s most celebrated long-distance routes — the Stour Valley Trail and the North Downs Way.
    This scenic journey follows the tranquil waters of the Great Stour before climbing gently onto Kent’s own National Trail, blending peaceful riverside paths with classic downland scenery.
    Passing through vineyards, orchards, and open meadows, the route showcases the quieter, timeless landscapes of the Stour Valley. With rolling hills, traditional Kent countryside, and chances to spot local wildlife, this walk offers a rewarding winter escape — finishing with a well-earned cream tea at the Church Mouse in Chartham 🫖.
