Who attends our events?
We're mainly in our mid 20s to mid 40s, but age is no barrier as long as you are young at heart and over 18.
Most of our members generally either live or work in London, although we have people from all over the UK attending and we've had several people visit from abroad for our trips and join us at our destination.
We have a lot of international members and this brings a superb cultural variety and mix of life experiences to the group and helps to make our trips so interesting and diverse.
We get a lot of people who attend their first event on their own and we always go out of our way to make everyone very welcome on our hiking trips. They have proven to be a great way to meet people and make new friends as well as to see this wonderful island

We're off to the Brecon Beacons National park to show you the best of this mountain range
This is one of three trips we organise to very different areas of this fabulous mountain range. This one to the central Brecons takes in both the most popular and on the second day arguably the most undiscovered walk in this National Park.
Our guide Graham knows his area very well having spent 4 years living close by and he's done the main hike on this trip over 31 times.
We’ll spend the first day hiking over the mountains that surround the Neuadd reservoir. Our second day is saved for the beautiful Llangattock Escarpment set behind our hostel. We'll also have dinner in the gorgeous setting of our remote converted barn - the only 5 star rated hostel in the UK with ensuite rooms.
HIGHLIGHTS
- 2 gorgeous and contrasting hikes high in the Brecon Beacons National Park
- Stay in a lovely converted stone barn eco hostel - awarded the Greenest hostel in the UK status in 2013
- A fully catered trip - you can leave your purse/wallet at home
- A closer trip than usual - only about 3 hours driving from London
- Hike the iconic Brecons Horseshoe
- Enjoy gorgeous scenery passing along the Llangattock Escarpment
- Smaller trip than usual, 30 attendees
WEEKEND DESCRIPTION
The Horseshoe walk is the most popular in the Brecon Beacons and it's easy to see why with staggering views as it takes in 3 mountain peaks. Having hiked the entire National Park extensively, it's the guide's personal favourite. It's fairly tough but offers breath taking views over the flat land to the North and back into the Brecon Beacons mountain range and on a clear day you can even see the sea and Gower Peninsula.
We are staying in one of the only 5 star hostels in the UK - a converted stone barn remote in the Brecon Beacons. With an ultra low carbon footprint, this eco hostel has been awarded the Greenest hostel in the UK status in 2013. To fully enjoy our rural mountainous setting and so that everyone can get to know each other, we will be enjoying a group meal in the evening.
On the last day we hike from the hostel along the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal and then up to the escarpment of Llangattock with far reaching views. For convenience we hike straight from the hostel with no driving and finish early afternoon so we can get back home at a good time.

The walk takes in the highest mountain in South Wales - Pen Y Fan (886m) as well as the mountain peaks of Corn Du and Cribyn.

After the hike we return to our barn hostel for dinner

Join us for a trip to one of UK’s finest landscapes offering remote and tranquil moorland, spectacular coastlines, deep wooded valleys, high sea cliffs and crystal clear rivers. We have designed a great trip combining the very best of this spectacular region in 3 diverse and contrasting hikes taking in sea, hilly moorland, shady wooded valleys and the River Barle.
Dive into the enchanting and magical Exmoor whose landscapes are steeped in history, folklore and tradition spanning back to its days as an ancient royal hunting forest. This magnificent National Park is a true haven for wildlife and grand landscapes. Keep your eyes open for Exmoor ponies and the largest indigenous mammal in Britain - the Wild Red Deer, which often share the trails with us.

Here we get a real taste of the enchantingly remote and wild Exmoor enjoying an abundance of peace, tranquillity and nature...
We have 3 stunning and contrasting hikes lined up - on the first day we will do a very diverse circular route taking in the famous Tarr Steps as well as the beautiful, dense and lush wooded valley of the River Barle.
Sunday sees us exploring the varied and dramatic landscape of Exmoor's coastline. We visit the villages of Lynton and Lynmouth - nestled in the mouth of a wooded valley in a picture postcard location.

- LARGE GROUP TOUGH HIKE 24k Challenge - Hike to Brighton BeachVictoria Station, London32,00 GBP
This will be a larger group size than usual, please only sign up if this appeals to you.
What better than a great hike, then finishing on the famous Brighton seafront with some short time to enjoy this coastal town. On the way there, we will hike along the elevated South Downs hills, summiting Ditchling Beacon to enjoy splendid sea views and diverse countryside, as the sea gets larger and larger and eventually we'll end up on the beach at Brighton.
We will also have some time to explore Brighton itself (approx 50 mins to 1 hour) - wander along the famous Lanes with the sound of the music buskers livening up the streets, and lose ourselves in the bars, cafes and independent jewellery and antique shops. You can even get a zip wire experience on the seafront. We will have some time to enjoy the beach, and if you're feeling really in the seaside mood, grab some good old British Fish and Chips. Join us or miss out!
TOUGHNESS WARNING - this is a tough and hilly hike and is also long. You need to be an experienced and fit hiker. It is not for beginners or anyone who has only done intermediate hikes.
To be fair to those attending, if you are unable to keep up with the group or finish the hike, you will need to leave the hike and get a taxi at your own expense. Our pace will average 4 to 4.2kmph.
At over 500m ascent, it is 2/3 of the ascent of Mount Snowdon from Pen Y Pass - the most popular start point.
If you have any doubts at all then this is not a hike to join, please choose one of our less tough hikes. If you are unsure, email us, but anyone who cannot keep up with the group will need to leave the hike and no refund will be due - only sign up if you are happy with this.HIGHLIGHTS
• Traverse the chalk highlands of the South Downs
• Summit Ditchling Beacon with far reaching views
• Visit Stanmer, a charming ancient private village with medieval architecture
• Explore the species rich grassland of Whitehawk Hill
• Finish at colourful Brighton and hit the beach, and for the brave - dip our toes in the sea
• A great physical challenge for the fit and fast hikersHIKE DESCRIPTION
This is a different experience from the usual walk along the South Downs ridge. Instead, this route starts off at Hassocks and then traverses North to South exploring hidden valleys, woods, open green expanses and parkland.
The end point is the lively town of Brighton, famous for its vibrant tlife, and we will be rewarded with a trip to the sea at Brighton Waterfront. Before that we will pass through the cosy village of Ditchling, then stand atop Ditchling Beacon, explore the green expanse of Stanmer Park, pass Stanmer House, then walk through the University of Sussex campus to Falmer. We will enjoy a lovely view of the sea from Kemp Town Racecourse and then walk into the splendour that is Brighton. The boardwalk, pier, seafront bars, Mediterranean cuisine and fish and chips of England's most famous beach await you!
TOUGHNESS - please note, this is not a hike for beginners or for anyone who has not been hiking regularly recently. The main hill is steep and the same height and toughness as walking up 1/3 of the height of the Shard by stairs.
