To make sure everyone finds each other smoothly, please follow these simple coordination steps: 1️⃣ **RSVP** Thoughtfully If you’re planning to come, tap “Going.” It helps others feel confident joining and builds momentum before the meetup. Even if you’re 80% sure, RSVP. If your plans change, please update your RSVP so others aren’t expecting your attendance. 2️⃣ **Confirm 2 Hours Before** (Essential) To ensure the meetup runs, please comment on this event page at least 2 hours before the start time: “Confirmed for today 😊” This allows everyone to see, ahead of time, who is actually coming. The meetup moves forward when at least 2 people confirm 2 hours before the event. If fewer than 2 confirmations are posted by then, attendance may be low that day. This avoids anyone showing up uncertain. 3️⃣ **Signal Your Arrival** When you arrive, comment on this event page: “Arrived” + where you’re sitting + what you’re wearing Example: “Arrived. Sitting outside near the entrance. Wearing a black t-shirt.” This ensures everyone can easily find each other. Recognition Tip Having a clear profile photo on Meetup is highly encouraged — it makes recognition effortless and helps the group form faster. **When & Where?** 📅 Day: Every Tuesday & Saturday 🕓 Time: 4:00 PM local time 📍 Meeting point: In front of Starbucks **Marble Arch.** **Arrive on time,** smaller groups make it easier to connect. **Why join Just Gutsy?** • Meet open-minded people who genuinely want to connect • Feel at home anywhere in the world • Be part of a growing global solo travel community • Early members get lifetime premium access to the future Just Gutsy app 🚀 Join here 👉 https://justgutsy.com/ **About Just Gutsy** **Just Gutsy** is a global community for solo travelers who are free spirited, love exploring the world believe that real connections make the best memories. Hi, I am Syrine, I started solo traveling in 2018 and it changed my life, from introvert to extrovert. Along the way, I loved meeting people, but also felt how hard it can be to find connection when traveling alone. I’m building Just Gutsy so no one has to feel alone on the road — and so anyone who’s still shy to take that first step has a welcoming place to start. 💛

All tours include a talk about the history and philosophy of the collection, a discussion about main areas of activity and a guided tour of the reception spaces and meeting rooms in 21 Moorfields.

Monthly Expat Pub Night: The Maple Leaf! Hey Everyone! For our monthly pub night gathering (The Vandoos), we are heading to The Maple Leaf on a Friday again! Please join your fellow Canadian Expats and friends of Canada for a great night of socializing! See you soon! David Mathews Leader - The London Expat Canadian Meetup Group About the London Vandoos The Vandoos is a group of like-minded and unlike-minded Canadians who get together on the 22nd of each month (or near about) at a selected London pub to meet new people and catch up with old friends. Guests and "honourary" Canadians are always welcome. The London Vandoos was originally formed as a Yahoo group and is the social arm of Network Canada. Past Network Canada President Dave Mathews organizes the monthly Vandoos Meetups. The evenings are very similar to the Monthly Monday night wings event... without the wings! The venues are announced roughly six to eight weeks prior to the event. Keep the 22nd of each month circled, something will be happening around that date! Hope to see you at a Vandoos gathering soon! [) The London Expat Canadian Meetup Group is dedicated to providing a harassment-free meetup experience for everyone. Our Code of Conduct outlines the standards and behaviours that help to shape and strengthen our community group. All event participants are expected to uphold these high standards, ensuring fellowship within a community of Canuck-minded people.

**SUMMARY (all info is approximate!)** **Distance**: 21km (13 miles) **Duration**: 6-7 hours walking **Grade**: Moderate **HIGHLIGHTS** * great views from Shoulder of Mutton Hill * forests coming into bloom * bluebells, spring flowers * forlorn paths * weird and wonderful moreland on Longmore Common * Sussex Border Path & budding rhododendrons, * country pubs for refreshments. We'll start our walk in Petersfield and head north to follow part of the 34 km (21 mile) Hangers Way - a long distance path less travelled within an area of outstanding natural beauty. The countryside around here is unspoilt and forlorn, and we'll meet only a few locals out for a walk with their dogs. In our first hour, we will be rewarded with fantastic views from Shoulder of Mutton Hill as we continue through forested slopes and over open fields towards Liss and then onto Liphook via a nice lunchtime pub stop (for drinks only). After Liss, we will walk down Shipwrights Way to Longmore and Weavers Down, an army managed access land which is eerily remote and wild with a range of different flora, shrubs and trees. We will then walk on the Sussex Border Path and continue to Liphook, where we will reward ourselves with a pub stop. This will be English countryside in its quintessential beauty and at its best – with budding wild flowers and maybe some wild rhododendrons - as well experiencing Longmore Common which feels like walking over Scottish moreland. **COST AND LOGISTICS** **Cost**: £10 **Start**: 8.35 Meet for a group save ticket **Meet:** 8:45 for those who buy their own tickets & walk to train **Finish:** 5.30/6pm for an optional pub visit. **Recommended morning train from London** **Dep**: 09:00 London Waterloo **Arr:** 10.05 Petersfield **Return** **trains:** 18.20, 19.20 **Recommended train ticket** Off-Peak Day Return to Petersfield · **£25.75 group save/ network rail price** Recommended: Buy a yearly Network Railcard for reduced train prices www.network-railcard.co.uk **Meeting Point:** Waterloo Station - In front of Information Desk by the big Pret **REVIEWS** [Trip Advisor](https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g186338-d19994843-Reviews-AAA_Hiking_Outdoor_Group-London_England.html) \| [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/AAAHikingUK/reviews) \| [MeetUp](https://www.meetup.com/aaa-outdoor-hiking-adventure-travel/feedback-overview/) **PRICE INCLUDES** · Guided hike planned and led by an experienced AAA leader, trained in Outdoor First Aid. **PRICE DOES NOT INCLUDE** · Travel costs · Lunch, drinks or any refreshments · PayPal fees **RECOMMENDED KIT LIST** [(](https://mailchi.mp/aaalondongroup.com/kitlist)complete list[)](https://mailchi.mp/aaalondongroup.com/kitlist) · Suitable hiking shoes or boots · Packed lunch and snacks · Water - 2 litres recommended · Waterproof jacket and trousers (Please no jeans!) · Warm windproof layer e.g. Down/Primaloft/Fleece · Wicking base layer e.g. Polyester/Tencel/Merino **CANCELLING/REFUNDS** If you can no longer join the hike, please message the Host listed on here, and update your RSVP status to 'Not going', to allow others to take your place.

✨ Тур в Зачарованный лес, где когда-то Кристофер Робин водил дружбу с медвежонком, который всегда «немного того, на диете». **Ashdown Forest** — это не просто зелёный массив в графстве Восточный Суссекс. Это место, где стирается грань между вымыслом и реальностью, где каждый поворот тропинки может вывести к мостику, с которого Винни-Пух и Пятачок бросали палочки, соревнуясь в знаменитой игре «Пустяки». Этот древний лес хранит память о веках. Когда-то здесь звучали рога королевской охоты: ещё в XIII веке лес обнесли частоколом, чтобы монархи и знать могли преследовать оленей. Генрих VIII, охотясь в этих угодьях, приезжал в соседний замок Hever ухаживать за Анной Болейн. Но главное чудо ждёт вас не в истории, а в самом пейзаже. В конце апреля лес начинает пробуждаться особенно трепетно. Воздух прозрачен и свеж, а среди прошлогодней листвы и молодой зелени, в тенистых и влажных уголках, уже появляются первые **лесные колокольчики**. 💐А после того, как вы надышитесь смоляным воздухом и тишиной веков, мы перенесёмся в совершенно иной мир — мир цвета и аромата. Всего в нескольких милях отсюда раскинулась **ферма Tulleys**, где апрель бушует яркими красками из более чем **полутора миллионов тюльпанов**. Здесь, на знаменитом фестивале тюльпанов, цветут более 100 различных сортов — алые, жёлтые, розовые, фиолетовые, почти чёрные тюльпаны тянутся к солнцу, создавая ковёр такой интенсивности, что глазам не верится. Над полями возвышается 33-метровое колесо обозрения — поднимитесь на нём, и перед вами откроется фантастическая панорама: разноцветные полосы тюльпанов, уходящие к самому горизонту, словно сам Весенний художник опрокинул сюда все свои краски. А воздух наполнен не только сладковатым ароматом цветов, но и живой музыкой — по тюльпановым тропам бродят уличные музыканты, даря каждому уголку полей свою неповторимую мелодию. Местные жители называют Tulleys «цветущим великолепием» — и действительно, когда бродишь среди этих сотен тысяч бутонов под аккомпанемент акустической гитары, кажется, что попал на полотно импрессиониста, которое ожило и зазвучало. Вы сможете вдыхать тонкий запах весны, делать снимки, попробовать настоящие голландские лакомства и даже собрать свой собственный букет, чтобы увезти частицу этого праздника с собой. Это путешествие — не просто прогулка. Это возможность за один день прикоснуться к вечности и к мимолётной, но такой прекрасной весне! 📝План поездки: 📍**08:45 Встреча** у отеля **[Hotel Novotel London West](https://goo.gl/maps/isJaR8654Y62),** 1 Shortlands, W6 8DR (рядом с Hammersmith Station) 📍10:30 — 12:00 Остановка в лесу, где растут колокольчики (Ashdown Forest) 📍12:00 — 13:00 Время для обеда в кафе парка 📍13:15 — 16:30 Фестиваль тюльпанов на [Tulleys Farm](https://www.tulipfarm.co.uk/) ([от £16.95](https://tulleystulipfarm.digitickets.co.uk/tickets?_gl=1*1lod871*_gcl_au*MTAxNjk4MTE1NS4xNzcyNDQwMDM3*_ga*ODE2OTgyNTYyLjE3NzI0NDAwMzg.*_ga_2LMD6CBF79*czE3NzMyMzQyOTMkbzkkZzEkdDE3NzMyMzQyOTMkajYwJGwwJGgw), бронируйте заранее на слоты с 13:30) 📍18:00 London, Hammersmith 👣 Продолжительность путешествия зависит от погодных условий и дорожных пробок. ✅ Включено в стоимость: ⚜️Тур-менеджер, говорящий на русском и английском языках ⚜️Транспорт, организация мероприятия ⚜️Профессиональный водитель с курсами IAM/RoSPA ⚜️Администрация и помощь во время путешествия ⚜️НДС и все налоги, комиссия платежной системы (карта/банк/PayPal) ❌Не включено: ❌Входные билеты: цены указаны в плане путешествия ❌Питание во время путешествия: индивидуальный выбор ❌Трансфер в место встречи и после завершения поездки ❌Остановки автобуса для посадки/высадки пассажиров по пути следования ❌[Страховка](https://www.coverwise.co.uk/) в случае травм, потери багажа и личных вещей, отмены тура в последнюю минуту ❌[Evebus Club](https://evebus.com/ru/evebus-club/) – переносы броней без потерь, [выбор посадочного](https://evebus.com/ru/seating-plan) места ❌Экскурсовод: £20 с человека при условии набора группы от 6-ти участников 🎒Что взять с собой: ☑️Воду/еду по желанию ☑️Фотокамеру и зарядку для телефона ☑️Мелочь для чаевых и отличное настроение 🙂 ☑️При необходимости не более одной ручной клади весом до 10 кг (40x30x20 см) ✳️Обо всем остальном мы позаботимся.

THE TRIP IS NOW FULL, IF YOU WISH TO ATTEND, ADD YOURSELF TO THE WAITING LIST AND I WILL CONTACT YOU IF A PLACE BECOMES AVAILABLE. Come along on Saturday 25th April for a coach trip to the ancient sites of Stonehenge, Avebury and Uffington White Horse! **About the day** We are travelling by coach to visit some of England's oldest & mystical sites, two in Wiltshire and one in Oxfordshire. **Stonehenge** Stonehenge started to be built in 3100BC and is today one of the most famous sites in the world. At the site, I will tell you more about Stonehenge and why its there. Options when we arrive at Stonehenge: * pay to take the mini-bus down the road to view it close up, about 4 metres away (it costs £25 to do this, pay when you arrive). If you are an English Heritage or National Trust member its free to get the mini-bus. * The rest of us will walk the 1 mile down the road and view it from the wire fence (about 5 or 6 metres away) for free. **Avebury** Avebury is about 20 miles north of Stonehenge, it dates to about 2800BC and is the largest stone circle in Europe. Its free to walk on the site, which covers over 281 acres and you can even touch the stones! I will guide you round the site telling your about the stones. Its free to view the stones. **Uffington White Horse** Uffington White Horse is a huge chalk drawing on the top of a hill which dates back to 900BC. It was probably a tribal symbol, as the remains of Uffington Fort lies behind it. The site is the highest point in Oxfordshire and gives stunning views across the countryside. I will tell you more about the site when we are there. Its free to view the horse. **Coach seating** * If you wish to reserve a seat on the coach in advance, after you pay please look at the seating plan in the photos [here](https://www.meetup.com/coach-day-trips-out-of-london/photos/35902731/533405713/) and then email me - [general@cultureseekers.org](http://general@cultureseekers.org), with the seat number/s you wish to reserve. Its first come first served. * The seat you sit on when you board the coach is yours for the day. If you wish to change seats on the coach during the day, you will need to get permission from the individual who is seated there. **Cost** Cost is £33 per person. After you RSVP: You will need to make payment (its not automatic), so either: \- send a bank transfer: TSB Bank plc\, sort code: 77\-66\-65\, account no: 00030809\, Account name: Cultureseekers \- Pay via credit card in advance \([https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QDOWSSXO](https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QDOWSSXO)) \- go to PayPal \- [https://www.paypal.com/uk/](https://www.paypal.com/uk/), ‘send a payment’ to [general@cultureseekers.org](mailto:general@cultureseekers.org) and click on the ‘Goods & Services’ option and change it to ‘Friends & Family’, as this avoids a charge from PayPal. Once you RSVP and then pay, I will confirm your place.
