What we’re about
If you’re thinking of joining this group, or have already joined, you are no doubt an outdoorsy person, and probably a member of other MeetUp groups too. There are plenty out there offering trips, hikes, cycling, kayaking, etc., though this group is more focussed on members putting out somewhere they would like to go, or something they would like to do, and seeing whether they can find like-minded people to share the experience with, rather than go or do on their own. It aims to complement what is already out there, or fill gaps in demand, rather than trying to compete.
It will be run on a voluntary, non-profit and non-commercial basis, though as MeetUp charges significant subscription fees for organisers these costs will need to be recouped somehow. There may, for example, be a nominal fee for an event.
The group has been in existence for a few years, but was relaunched in April 2025 under a new organiser. The success will depend on whether other members come forward to host trips or events, to expand the offerings of the group, so that others are encouraged to join.
