Adventure Activities London

From Walks by Water - walking, hiking London

Have you ever wanted to be immersed within either the city or nature in the form of a walk and socialise at the same time? If so, this may be the right walk for you. Welcome to another one of the FREE WALK events where you have the opportunity to explore all the scenic routes I’ll execute whether there’s nature within, whether we get immersed within the city and feel great about yourself.   With this particular walk, we will be walking down the river from Blackfriars to Battersea Power station. As we go along the river, we should see remnants of what makes the skyline, Tate modern, The house of Parliament and any other scenic views on the way. A transition from East Central to South West. After this, we may do an aftermath if you wish and let democracy decide. My fellow explorers, if you enjoyed the event, I’m more than happy to accept any donations which of course are optional but will go a long way to help me unlock and deliver even more exciting and engaging events and resources: https://www.paypal.me/calvinjoy   Starting point: Blackfriars Ending point: Battersea Power Station Walking length: 3 miles Duration: 1 hour + Required clothing: Smart casual, comfortable shoes and a jacket in case it gets cold Departure: 20 minutes after the meeting time.   WHAT - Walk down the River Thames WHERE - Blackfriars to Battersea Power station WHEN - 6:30pm - 8:30pm MEETING POINT - Outside Blackfriars Station near the Temperance Fountain NEAREST STATION - Blackfriars station REQUIREMENTS - Just your good behaviour is all and whatever is listed above for the walk.   Disclaimers: Please be on your best behaviour and respect one another. This group doesn’t tolerate any misbehaviour and misconduct. Should such a thing take place, you will be removed. If you ask a question that either already has the answer to it or doesn’t relate to the event at all, I won’t respond. Whenever an event takes place, I will cut off contact 20 minutes after the event commences. If you message even 1 minute after the cut off time, I won’t be available as I’m conducting the event. There will be photography and videography by myself so if you are photo conscious and/or do not want to be in the video, do kindly inform me and I’ll try my utmost best to not involve you in the picture. Let’s all be responsible but please be aware you come at your own risk. Do be mindful of your possessions, belongings and most importantly, your safety.

NEW - TOUGH HIKE 21km Challenge - Surrey 2 Peaks 640m ASCENT

Sat, Sep 12, 7:10 AM

From Outdooraholics London Hiking & Adventure Travel 25 to 49ish

From Outdooraholics London Hiking & Adventure Travel 25 to 49ish

This is a shorter version of our popular Surrey 3 Peaks route, ideal for anyone looking for a challenge or training for bigger adventures. Don't be fooled though, at 21km with 640m of ascent, it's still a demanding hike. Your guide designed this route and knows these hills very well. He was born on the North Downs and spent 18 years living in the Surrey Hills woodlands we'll be hiking through. 📏 **Key Info:** • Distance: 13 miles (21km) • Grading: [Challenging](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/HikeGradings.pdf) • Ascent: 640m • Hiking time: 5 to 5.5 hours • Cost: £33 (includes guided hike + return train) • Refunds: Payments are non-refundable and non-transferable. If you follow our [[Resale Process](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/FAQ.pdf)] and your place is rebooked, we’ll issue a refund. • Toilet Breaks: On the train, at the lunch stop and at the end pub 📍 **Meeting Point** • Location: Victoria station. Meet between WHSmith (no 34) and Nero Express (no 29) - [MAP](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/StationPhotos/Victoria.jpg) & [photo](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/StationPhotos/VictoriaPhoto.jpg) • Time: Meet 8:10am, leave 8:25am for the 8:41am train • Return: 6:45pm arrival back in London (you’re committed until then) 🌟 **Highlights** • Conquer the **two highest peaks in Surrey** — Leith Hill (294m) & Holmbury Hill (261m) • Hike through the **Surrey Hills AONB**, one of England’s most beautiful landscapes • See the historic **Leith Hill Tower** with its sweeping panoramas • A **superb training hike** for major challenges (Yorkshire Three Peaks, National Three Peaks, Kilimanjaro, Toubkal, Everest Base Camp etc) 🥾 **Hike Description** This is a shorter version of the Surrey 3 Peaks - a formidable challenge often called the Yorkshire cousins as it rivals the Yorkshire Three Peaks in length and ascent. We take on the two highest points in Surrey: **Holmbury Hill and Leith Hill**, following ancient sandy trails and woodland ridges across the **Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty**. Surrey is the most wooded county in England, and this route showcases its very best trails. Starting from **Holmwood**, our route climbs first to **Leith Hill** (294m), the highest point in the South East of England. Here the summit is crowned by the 18th-century gothic **Leith Hill Tower**, offering some of the most far-reaching views of any of our hikes — south to the sea and the South Downs, and north as far as central London landmarks on a clear day. From there, we continue along sandy trails and woodland ridges to **Holmbury Hill** (261m), where the remains of an Iron Age fort overlook the forested Weald below. **Toughness (Please Read):** This is a **very tough, and hilly hike** with over 600m of total ascent. Expect steep sections, some loose ground, and a short section where you need to use your hands it's so steep. The **pace will average 4.0–4.4 km/h** and **the hike will not be slowed down or cut short.** It is **not suitable for beginners**. Only experienced and fit walkers should join. If a participant is unable to keep pace or complete the hike, there are places they can arrange a taxi to leave the hike. If you have any doubts about your ability, we recommend choosing one of our less demanding hikes instead. 🧭 **Guide:** • Leader: [GRAHAM](https://www.outdooraholics.co.uk/MeetTheOutdooraholics.pdf) • Contact (hike day only): 07796 098487 🍽️ **Food:** • Bring a packed lunch and hike snacks, it's a long hike • Pub visit after the hike - (drinks optional) 🎒**What to Bring** • Hiking boots/shoes • Water (2 litres minimum) • Packed lunch • Waterproofs (jacket and trousers) • Hat and gloves if cold • Train tickets are arranged – just meet us at the meeting point ⚠️ **Safety** Your guide is a trained hike leader and Outdoor Activity First Aider ❓ **Want to Know More?** • [New to Our Trips?](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/new_to_our_day_hikes.pdf) (perfect for first-timers, answers “what to expect”) • [About Us](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/about_us.pdf) (who Outdooraholics are, credibility, history) • [FAQs](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/FAQ.pdf) (covers common queries) 📲 **Explore More &** **Stay Connected** [Day hikes list](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/hikesbygrade.pdf) 👣 [Calendar - All trips](https://www.meetup.com/outdooraholics/events/calendar/) 📖 [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/outdooraholics/) 📸 [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/Outdooraholics) & [Photos group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/Outdooraholics) 📄 **Terms and Conditions** By signing up or attending you agree to our [Terms and Conditions](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/TermsConditionsOutdooraholicsHikingUK.pdf) © Outdooraholics Hiking UK Ltd 2026 E & OE

Through the ages, it has been home to Iron Age farmers, Romans, royalty and archbishops. From here our route leads into the tranquil woods and grasslands of the Kentish countryside, reaching **Shoreham** before following the **Darent Valley Path** into the heart of the valley. The trail takes us into the beautiful **Lullingstone Country Park**, internationally important for its collection of ancient trees. Beech, ash, oak, sweet chestnut and hornbeam all thrive here, with some specimens thought to be over 800 years old. Emerging from the woodland, we arrive at **Lullingstone Castle**, set beside its peaceful lake, before continuing to the site of **Lullingstone Roman Villa** — a rare survival of a Roman estate house first built around 100 AD. From here we continue through rolling Kent fields, rewarded with views of the impressive **Eynsford Rail Viaduct**, its nine red-brick arches towering 22 metres above the valley floor. Our hike concludes in the charming village of **Eynsford**, where we explore the evocative ruins of **Eynsford Castle**, a Norman stronghold built in 1088. With its riverside setting, ancient remains and traditional cottages, the village provides a perfect finale to a day steeped in history and countryside beauty. **Guide:** • Leader: [JOHN](https://www.outdooraholics.co.uk/MeetTheOutdooraholics.pdf) • Contact (hike day only): 07508 511026 ️ **Food:** • Bring a packed lunch • Pub visit after the hike (drinks optional) **What to Bring** • Hiking boots/shoes • Water (2 litres minimum) • Packed lunch • Waterproofs (jacket and trousers) • Hat and gloves if cold • Train tickets are arranged – just meet us at the meeting point ⚠️ **Safety** Your guide is a trained hike leader and Outdoor Activity First Aider ❓ **Want to Know More?** • [New to Our Trips?](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/new_to_our_day_hikes.pdf) (perfect for first-timers, answers “what to expect”) • [About Us](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/about_us.pdf) (who Outdooraholics are, credibility, history) • [FAQs](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/FAQ.pdf) (covers common queries) **Explore More &** **Stay Connected** [Day hikes list](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/hikesbygrade.pdf) [Calendar - All trips](https://www.meetup.com/outdooraholics/events/calendar/) [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/outdooraholics/) [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/Outdooraholics) & [Photos group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/Outdooraholics) **Terms and Conditions** By signing up or attending you agree to our [Terms and Conditions](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/TermsConditionsOutdooraholicsHikingUK.pdf) © Outdooraholics Hiking UK Ltd 2026 E & OE

Zombies is a large-scale infectious outdoor tag game! 🏃 Evade zombies, pick up health packs, become the final survivor!

Bonding over nearly dying is also a fantastic way to make friends for life! ❤️ 📍 **LOCATION/HOW TO FIND** 📍 Exit Barbican Underground station, turn left and walk up Aldersgate St for 1 min, then turn right onto Fann St. We'll meet on the corner opposite "The Shakespeare". 🚉 **Closest Stations** 🚉 \- Barbican \(Circle\) \- 4 minute walk \- Farringdon \(Elizabeth Line\) \- 7 minute walk 📍 [Meeting Location](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ko8Zj6tpa9MrMr7j8) 💭 **WHAT TO BRING** 💭 \- 📱 **Download the [PlayCulture App Here](www.playculture.com/app)** \- ⚡ Have a fully charged phone \(app will need to stay on for the duration of the game\) \- 👟 Comfy shoes \(You will need to run as part of the game\) \- 🥤 Bottle of water ️🛍️ WHAT NOT TO BRING 🎒 Please try not to bring a bag/backpack as we don't have anywhere to store bags 🚀 **EVENT SCHEDULE** 🚀 \- Meet at 3:45PM \(at Barbican Station\) \- Walk to the meeting point \(Location shared above\) \- Brief on how the game works and the rules \- Game Starts: **4:15PM** \- Start with a shorter game session for everyone to help gain familiarity \- Move on to longer game sessions \- End by 6:45PM ⚡ **HOW DOES THE GAME WORK?** ⚡ This game uses the free PlayCulture App ([playculture.com/app](http://playculture.com/app)).
