🦺🥾🚰What to bring: You must bring a backpack with Waterproof Jacket , a picnic lunch (if you didn't book the table at the pub ), hiking foot wear and 1.5 L water.

HappyHikers fun walks

These walks are highly rated for being fun, welcoming,engaging & personalised. These walks are very different from other group's walks. There are improv games , funny introductions (don't come if you can't laugh :-) ) etc . Also there is always a pub lunch with us . Walks are more `explore` themed & dynamic (we have planned multiple paths & will select most interesting one on the day ). Normally limited to around 20 people so that you can talk to everyone . You will definitely leave this walks by making new friends. A feedback screenshot with 17 , 5 stars and 100% would attend again for one of our previous events is attached as an image to this event.

Note: There is a 1 pound fee for the 'fun hike' to cover the meetup subscription fees unless you are a regular or a life time member (for just 10 quids).
