What we’re about
A group for outdoor lovers seeking exploration and connection with like-minded people. We will mainly be hiking in and around the east midlands and peaks with other fun outdoor activities sprinkled between (these will likely be from spring onwards). Join us for hikes, kayaking, paddleboarding, biking, wild swimming, yoga, camping, weekend exploration amongst many more activities.
We understand that it can be difficult meeting people, and even harder finding people who want to explore. That's why we have created this group, to gather you up and get out there and have fun together!
We will organise socials for us to get to know each other better, both before and after hikes, and for you to gauge if you would like to join us. We know these things can be intimidating, but we are friendly and all looking for the same thing, so come on over.
Dogs welcome
