🌿 SPANGLISH SOCIAL HIKE · RICHMOND PARK (12 km) 🦌🌳

🌞 LET’S CONTINUE 2026 WITH MORE WALKS, CHATS & LAUGHS. Weather looks promising, but we’ll go ahead rain or shine.

A relaxed social hike & Spanglish day out in Richmond Park.
This Sunday, let’s reset 2026 the right way: moving, chatting and enjoying the outdoors.

We’re organising a relaxed 12km social hike through Richmond Park, blending light Spanish & English conversation, beautiful scenery and genuinely good company.

Think of it as a soft reboot for the year: walk, talk, laugh and reconnect. No pressure, no classrooms, no awkward icebreakers.

Perfect if you’re curious about our Spain trips and want to meet the community first ❗

MORE THAN “SPANGLISH” — A NATURAL LANGUAGE EXPERIENCE
This is not a lesson or a formal language exchange.
We walk, chat and switch naturally between English & Spanish as the conversation flows.

Ideal if you want to practise Spanish in real situations, meet like-minded people in a relaxed setting and get outdoors after the holidays.
