About us
Do you enjoy going to reading groups, and also enjoy hiking? Have you ever pondered what it might be like to combine these two concepts? Then look no further. Cambridge Park & Ride, sorry, I mean Cambridge Walk & Read, is a 360 degree group to enhance and nourish mind, body, and soul, in a world dominated by digital hyper-entertainment designed to capture your attention.
As with a reading group, we select a book and read it before the session. Then, we meet up and go for a hike. We'll often stop for coffee, drinks, lunch, or dinner. The book allows us to connect and converse over this shared experience - listening, learning and growing along the way.
We hope to see you soon! Note, that this group is monetised. We also encourage an inclusive vibe which means listening and trying not to completely dominate the conversation.

We will be walking from Cambridge North station to Waterbeach and back. We will be meeting at 10.00am outside the entrance of Cambridge North station.
Pack and bring lunch with you. If there is space in the pub, we will be stopping at the Bridge in Waterbeach for refreshments.
The cost of the event will be £5. I will add attendees to our whatsapp group after the event and take the payment online.
If you didn't have time to finish the book, feel free to still come along. We'll be closing the RSVP a week before the event, so attendees have a chance to read the book.

Ada Palmer did an interview on the Dwarkesh podcast, which is where I found out about the book. If you want to listen to this, the link is here.1 attendee
