Summit Men - Adventure & Community For Men

Hey guys 👋

This is our first Summit Men meetup — a relaxed outdoor walk and hang to meet the crew, get some fresh air, and talk about the kinds of adventures we want to tackle together.

We’ll go for an easy walk, with some stunning scenery, nothing too intense — just a good chance to connect, swap stories, and throw some ideas around. 🌄

Summit Men is about more than just hikes — it’s a growing community and movement for men who want adventure, community, challenge, and genuine connection. Over time, we’ll be running organised trips, weekends away, and events that help us grow stronger together — physically and mentally.

This launch walk is a casual, free intro to what’s coming.

Bring comfortable weather-appropriate walking shoes, waterproofs, warm kit, water, snacks, and an open mind.

When: Meet 10:00am

Where: Dedham, Gun Hill, and the Stour Valley Circular

After the walk, we’ll grab a drink at The Boathouse opposite the car park and chat about what everyone’s into and what kind of experiences you’d love to see as Summit Men grows.

Feel free to grab some lunch in The Boat House with us afterwards.

You are welcome to bring a friend along too!

Let’s kick this off strong — no one gets left behind 💪
