Girls Hike & Coffee Stop | Banstead | Sat 23 May

This one's for the girls 🌿

A circular hike through the Banstead countryside, close to Chipstead in Surrey. Under an hour from central London but feeling completely worlds away from the city.

About this hike
The route winds through open fields, mixed woodland and farmland. It's rich with wildlife and wildflowers. If we're lucky the bluebells may still be out (fingers crossed, it's late in the season!) and keep your eyes peeled for orchids on the chalk grassland. A genuinely beautiful corner of Surrey.

The route
A mixture of field, woodland and grassland paths with some climbs and descents along the way, nothing that'll leave you broken, but a proper hike rather than a flat stroll!

The details
📍 Meet at London Bridge station at 09:30 for the 09:40 train to Chipstead, or join us at Chipstead station at 10:25
🚶‍♀️~ 10km, including to and from the station
⏱ ~ 2hrs 45 mins moving time
☕ Finishing at FILTR coffee for drinks, cake or a toastie
💚 Free to attend

Exact meeting point at London Bridge will be shared a few days before, we'll be in touch!

This hike is women-only - something we'll be doing from time to time alongside our usual mixed hikes. A space to walk, chat and meet like-minded girls who love getting outside.

What to bring
Sturdy walking shoes or boots
Layers, we'll be outside for a few hours
Plenty of water
A snack for the trail
Suncream/hat and a waterproof because you never know what the weather will do

The vibe
Relaxed pace, good company and time in nature. Toasted Fig hikes are welcoming and friendly with a shared love of the outdoors, good food and looking after yourself. No fitness pressure. Whether you're coming solo or with a friend, you'll be made to feel welcome from the moment you arrive.

Safety
I'm a qualified outdoor first aider, so you're in safe hands on the trail 🙌
