What we’re about
Want to get out and meet friendly people in the Malvern Hills area? Join us for social walks on the hills.
Our walks always end up at coffee shops and pubs. We want to keep fit, chat with friends, and discover great cake.
We walk at a steady pace and take breathers but you'll always find a few climbs. So, please be fit enough to cope with this. Our weekend walks tend to be around 4-5 miles long. Our evening walks are a little shorter (3+ miles).
We welcome all ages. Most people are somewhere between mid-forties and early sixties.
Please pay £2.50 per event (and pay via PayPal as you book). Volunteer-run, 100% goes towards the Meetup fee (around £200/year). Beyond that, we donate every penny to a local charity (currently Severn Angels Housing and Support).
Got ideas for events? Want to host one? Please contact us, we’d love to hear from you.
Do join us soon. You’ll be glad you did.
Things you should know:
You’re responsible for your own safety when you attend our events. We’re simply creating social opportunities for like-minded people in the area.
Please pay on booking. We don't want to waste our time chasing you – we’re volunteers - we've got day jobs too.
You're welcome to bring a non-member guest but remember to book two places and pay £2.50 for them as well.
If we cancel the walk, we'll refund you. Should you decide not to come along, we won't. But your £2.50 will be going to charity.
Please don't bring your dogs. We've got them too, but not everyone wants four legs running around. We tried 'dogs welcome' walks and had no take-up, so we stick to people for now.
Got questions about an event? Please get in touch before you book.

Things you need to know:
1. We’re very friendly. Come on your own and you’ll soon be chatting with others. Whilst we have many regular attendees, almost every event includes first-timers.
2. We don't allow dogs on most of our walks. Whilst we have dogs ourselves, not everyone is keen. Plus, we've tried dogs welcome walks and there's been almost no take-up!
3. The Malvern area is a hilly place, on and off the hills. Whilst we’re very supportive if you’re looking to get fitter (and we stop for breaks when necessary), you must decide if you’re comfortable with the location of the event. We do host some flatter walks, but even those can catch us out sometimes with an unexpected hill. If you want more detail about a specific event, please message Dan or Anna beforehand – we’re always happy to help.
4. We run this group on a voluntary basis. Just for fun. And we have a lot of it. Whilst we aim to look after everyone, you are responsible for your own safety – we’re just normal people!

- North Quarry to British Camp (and back)WR14 4LT, MalvernGBP 4.00
This is a longer walk than our usual weekend events. I'm guessing it'll be around 10 miles and take five hours or so (and a break). You'll need a good level of fitness and we'll aim to walk at a fair pace, climbing most of the peaks (at least one way!) Please bring a picnic for lunch. We'll also aim to stop at a cafe briefly somewhere.
**Please only book on this walk if you've walked with us at least once before. There are plenty of other walks where you can get to know us during April and May. That way, we understand your level of fitness**
We'll meet at North Quarry car park (WR14 4LT, charge £6 - some roadside parking also).
We'll walk up onto North Hill before heading south over various hills until we reach British Camp. From there, we'll loop back and return to North Quarry, judging whether to favour climbs or side paths as we become more tired.
We're asking for a £4.00 contribution to attend this event. Please pay as you book.
