What we’re about
Out & About is a Belfast-based group who arrange walks every other Sunday for the LGBT+ community and their friends. Our walks suit all abilities, Green:Easy, Amber:Moderate or Red:Challenging.
We usually meet at a central location at 10:00am to allow for car sharing, giving new members a chance to meet everyone. Plus it helps the environment and reduces the pressure on rural car parks. We ask that members pay a £4 contribution to our drivers to cover the cost of fuel.
We also organise weekends away and other social events for fully paid up members.
For more information on membership, hiking schedule or to see previous walks we are on Facebook & Instagram.
All photos on our Meet Up page have been taken by our members while out on our hikes.

Meetup: Exchange Street car park, Belfast where we will pool cars and leave at 10:00 AM sharp.
