################# **Explore Britain’s most stunning trails in a small group of up to 15, travelling together by private minibus to beautiful, remote locations not easily reached by public transport.** **We’ve created a list of [FAQs](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e4VGmwhurmCng2cY3ZJHOS4j9ZlWKaX1/view?usp=sharing) to help answer your questions.** ################# Come and join us for a relaxing one-day escape from the capital to some of England’s best beaches! This trip was created specifically for the warmer weather, to combine some easy hiking and allow plenty of free time to enjoy the iconic Sandbanks and Bournemouth's beaches. These stunning beaches with wide golden sands backed by sand dunes regularly win awards as the country's top seaside destinations, including many prestigious Blue Flag awards. We’ll start the day by exploring Christchurch Harbour and Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve. After a short climb to the summit of Hengistbury Head, we'll be rewarded with fantastic views across the New Forest, the Isle of Wight and the Purbeck Hills. We'll then follow the promenade along the sandy and picturesque beaches to Bournemouth Pier, where we'll stop for lunch for one hour. Don't forget to bring your swimwear, flip flops and a beach towel if you fancy taking a refreshing dip in the sea or walking barefoot on the sand! We'll then take a short drive to the Miami-like peninsula of Sandbanks. Sandbanks has always attracted celebrities, with its multi-million-pound properties, yacht clubs and world-famous beaches. Past and present residents of Sandbanks include John Lennon, J.R.R. Tolkien, Rick Stein, Liam Gallagher and many others! You'll have time to sunbathe and relax on the four-mile stretch of glorious coastline near Sandbanks Beach, and enjoy spectacular views of Poole Harbour and Brownsea Island on the other side. **DISTANCE & DIFFICULTY** Distance: 8 miles (13km).

BANK HOLIDAY WALK - Along the seaside and coast from Whitstable to Hernes Bay , a 6.5 mile walk along the beautiful Kent coastline. EXTENDED WEEKEND OF WALKING (SUN, MON,TUE). This Walk is the third in our extended weekend of scenic walking in the Canterbury, Whitstable, Herne Bay area.

The host will stay overnight in Canterbury on Sunday 3rd and Monday 4th. **WALK START POINT: Whitstable Train Station** (National Rail). Look for Ken with the Kens Events/Meetup Flag/Badge outside the station. WALK ROUTE: From Whitstable Station through the historic town of Whitstable and seaside then along the Kent coast to the seaside resort of Herne Bay. WALK DISTANCE: Approx 6.5 miles WALK END POINT: The Saxon Shore pub on Herne Bay Seafront. WALK STOP OUT POINT: Several stopout points along the route. BREATHE FRESH AIR: Give up the city streets for a day and improve your overall fitness levels on a green walk. Explore and enjoy London's abundant and sometimes secret green spaces, forest areas and surprising surrounding countryside. Meet new people and make some new friends. Walking is a great social activity. Visit parts of London, unknown to most people, that you would not otherwise have a reason to see. **Social Event**: Our walks are social walks, where the emphasis is on meeting new people, enjoying nature, healthy exercise, and fresh air. Our walks are not interrupted with running commentaries or historical lectures, although occasionally features of significance may be pointed out. As such our walks will be continuous with few stops and it is your responsibilty to keep walkers ahead in view and to follow the direction of the walk. We always end the walk at a pub where the socialising can continue. *Be sure to join us in the pub for the whole experience!* COST: Free for members (who show their Ken's Events Membership card). For others there is a £5 fee for this event. Scroll down to bottom of page to see disclaimer and notice of risks. WANT TO COME ON ANOTHER WALK?

Tell your friends you are going! Unfortunately no large dogs and small children are permitted on these walks. **NOTICE of RISKS applicable for all walks:** Please dress appropriately for weather and terrain conditions. Only wear good sturdy shoes, with ankle support, and carry a bottle of water and necessary medication. You need to be moderately fit for this walk and able to walk for at least 8 miles. This walk is suitable for the average experienced hill walker. Expect some hills. Do not attend this walk if you do not fit that description or if you have a medical condition (especially heart and/or lung conditions) that may impact upon your capability of completing the walk. These walks are city walks and countryside walks where all the usual risks of injury during such walks apply resulting from interactions with road traffic, joggers, cyclists, e-scooters,other members of the public, animals (farm, domestic and wild), plants (allergic reactions), uneven surfaces, including portruding tree roots and potholes and there may be low overhanging branches. In these walks we cross busy roads, use towpaths alongside water, bridlepaths, country lanes and sometimes ill defined paths and tracks through woodland, bush and countryside. Some tracks may be muddy and slippery, and conditions may be wet and icy. The walk leader is not and does not purport to be a professional guide, or a medical professional, but is instead a like minded individual who also enjoys hill walking and who is familiar with the intended route. Do not attend this walk unless you accept and consent to the above risks. If you require insurance for these walks then you must arrange this yourself. **DISCAIMER** All Ken's Events are subject to a disclaimer.

Joining a beach cleanup offers numerous benefits, such as improving the environment, meeting new friends with similar values, and gaining satisfaction from contributing to the community.

To RSVP for a beach cleanup, find the event you’re interested in on Meetup, then confirm your attendance by clicking the RSVP button on the event page.

Many beach cleanup events are free to join, though some might have a small fee. It’s best to check the specific event details for any costs associated with participation.

On Meetup, you can organize your own beach cleanup by creating a group. As an organizer, you can promote your event and encourage others in London to join your efforts.

Beach cleanup events typically involve groups of volunteers gathering at a designated location to collect debris and litter. These activities help maintain cleaner beaches and protect marine ecosystems.

Meetup focuses on group activities, both large and small. While many events bring together sizable groups, others may be more intimate, emphasizing specific interests or quieter participation.

Most beach cleanups are organized by individuals or groups within Meetup, and the quality can vary. Checking the event details and past feedback may offer insights into the organization level.

Absolutely! Beach cleanups welcome newcomers enthusiastically. It's a great way to meet people, engage in a healthy activity, and contribute to a good cause.

Cleanup events may provide supplies like gloves and bags, but it depends on the organizer. It’s advisable to check event specifics or bring your own in case they’re not provided.
