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.

Experience the untamed beauty of Cornwall – where rugged cliffs meet azure waters, charming fishing villages are tucked away in secluded coves, and the world’s largest indoor rainforest awaits. With its 300-mile coastline – the longest in the UK – Cornwall's ancient Celtic heritage blends with dramatic coastlines, creating a landscape that has captivated explorers and dreamers for centuries.
Our journey weaves through Cornwall's finest treasures, where nearly a third of the landscape is designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Follow in the footsteps of Victorian coastguards along the legendary South West Coast Path, recognised among National Geographic's 100 Hikes of a Lifetime. Here, towering cliffs dive into the ocean blue Atlantic, sheltering pristine sandy coves and time-forgotten fishing villages that still pulse with maritime tradition.
We shall also visit the Eden project which has been voted by the British Travel Awards as the "Best UK Leisure Attraction" for 5 years in a row. It is a global collection of plants inside 2 vast atmospheric biomes that nestle in a crater the size of 30 football pitches. It contains the world's largest indoor rainforest with waterfalls and steamy jungles with a canopy walkway so you can also walk above the treetops.
Join us in a truly spectacular weekend trip exploring some of Cornwall’s best features and let us show you the best that Cornwall has to offer.

WEEKEND DESCRIPTION
Cornwall is a land of wild beauty and ancient heritage, where the Atlantic Ocean crashes against 300 miles of dramatic coastline, dotted with hidden coves and timeless fishing villages. Surrounded by sea on three sides, this magical corner of the UK is steeped in Celtic tradition and history, with its own language, Kernowek, and a rich maritime culture.
Our adventure begins in the heart of Cornwall’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where we’ll stay in a secluded, charming hostel in the picturesque village of Boswinger. Surrounded by lush countryside and within walking distance of serene beaches, it’s the perfect setting for exploring. We’ll hike the South West Coast Path, following cliff-top trails with sweeping ocean views, and uncover hidden gems like the golden sands of Hemmick Beach and the charming harbour of Mevagissey. Along the way, we’ll discover Cornwall’s unique cultural heritage, including the inspiring landscapes that captivated Daphne du Maurier. Our journey ends at the extraordinary Eden Project, where the world’s largest indoor rainforest thrives in a former china clay pitл

We reach the enchanting Vault Beach, cradled within its serene cove, before continuing to Dodman Point, the highest headland on Cornwall’s south coast. Standing at 374 feet, it offers sweeping views across the coastline and the vast Atlantic. On a clear day, you can see all the way to the Lizard Peninsula and Rame Head, a horizon stretching 158km.

Visualizza tutto- HIKE 22km Seven Sisters coastal - The Towering Chalk Sea Cliffs of SussexVictoria Station, London33,00 GBP
Come and join us for what is our most popular day hike and the most exhilarating coastal hike in the South East of England, with breathtaking views of the striking and dramatic white cliffs. A good proportion of the hike is up high on the cliffs as they loom down over the sea beneath. We're off to Sussex to hike the classic Seven Sisters hike from Seaford to Eastbourne, a hike Outdooraholics have been organising for nearly 11 years and have had over 130 wonderful trips here. It is epic!
HIGHLIGHTS
• Hike one of the most spectacular coastal hikes in England
• A great physical challenge with several easy options to shorten if needed
• Enjoy amazing views over the coastline for much of this hike
• Finish in Eastbourne - England's sunniest town
• Explore the South Downs National Park - the newest in the UKHIKE DESCRIPTION
This hike treats us with many iconic views and fresh sea air high up on the cliffs. The Seven Sisters are a series of white chalk cliffs and are set within the Seven Sisters Country Park. They are remnants of dry valleys in the South Downs and were formed at the end of the last Ice Age by glacial meltwater. There are in fact now eight sisters as an extra one has been created by coastal erosion.
Our hike starts in the coastal town of Seaford which is home to a Martello Tower from 1810 which formed part of a string of 103 towers to defend against French invasion in Napoleonic times. It then follows the cliffs along the South Downs way past Birling Gap and the Belle Tout lighthouse. The lighthouse was actually moved 17 metres in 1999 to stop it from falling victim to coastal erosion. Our hike shall then take us on to the beauty spot of Beachy Head which has a more sinister side, before we head to Eastbourne for some refreshments in a delightful pub.

Cliffs – danger
There are sheer drops off the cliffs and some of these soft chalk cliffs are crumbling at the edges with chunks regularly falling and no fencing in place. Please keep at least 3 metres away from the edges. If you fall, or the ground at the edge of the cliff collapses it will almost certainly be fatal.

- BEGINNERS HIKE 14km The Rivers, Castles, Valleys, Hills & Lakes of SussexVictoria Station, London32,00 GBP
Hike designed for beginners with two breaks during the hike!
Woodland, attractive towns, castles, river trails and chalk hills. This hike has a bit of nearly everything. We're off to historic Arundel in Sussex and breaking with tradition we'll also have a brief stop mid hike at a delightful little pub on the banks of the river Arun for that irresistible sneaky river side pint to satisfy the "Outdoor Alcoholics".
HIGHLIGHTS
• Hike the chalk hills with breathtaking views to the distant sea
• Explore the landscaped Arundel Park with its woodland, Swanbourne lake, meadows and the Gothic Hiorne Tower
• Superb views of the 12th century Arundel Castle
• Follow the river Arun on a picturesque trail towards Arundel Castle
• Visit the Roman Catholic Arundel Cathedral (French Gothic style)
• Riverside pub visit
• Visit the well preserved Sussex ancient market town of ArundelHIKE DESCRIPTION
A delightful mix of scenery with a good stretch along the river Arun, a visit to the woods and hills of Arundel Park and the striking and extravagant castellated Hiorne tower. We'll then venture into Arundel with its Gothic and enchanting castle dominating and looming over the town to finish our hike by finding the mighty Arundel Cathedral. We'll get some far ever nearing views of the castle as we follow the meandering and lazy river Arun. As well as the quick mid hike pub stop we'll have our usual refreshments in Arundel before making our way back to London. We'll pop up to hike past Arundel Castle but can't get into the grounds as admission is charged.
With just under 2500 inhabitants Arundel is a small town, but has been home to the very rich and powerful Dukes of Norfolk for over 400 years. The original Mott and Bailey castle was built on the site in 1067 by the Normans after their invasion of Britain in 1066 and has since been rebuilt and expanded to provide the grand modern day stately home. The castle is still inhabited by the Dukes of Norfolk with the 18th Duke residing there currently. Hiorne Tower was built in Arundel Park in 1787 as an extravagant folly for the Duke of Norfolk and has a commanding position high on the hills and is quite enchanting and captivating.
