LAST MINUTE: Dover → Folkestone Coastal via Samphire Hoe | Small Group
**Dover → Folkestone via Samphire Hoe**
**The Plan:**
* **Distance:** 9 miles
* **Duration:** about 3.5 hrs
* **Elevation:** +650 ft / –775 ft
**Difficulty:** *Moderate*\- some cliff and hill\, yet rewarding\. Expect rolling paths\, dramatic cliffside views\, and just enough ups and downs to keep things interesting\.
**Highlights Along the Way**
🔹 Shakespeare Cliff - A sweeping cliff face named after the Bard himself, offering a jaw-dropping first glimpse of the coastline’s grandeur.
🔹 Samphire Hoe - A stunning nature reserve born from the earth dug out of the Channel Tunnel. Here, wildflowers bloom against chalky cliffs, seabirds soar overhead, and the wind carries the salt and freedom of the open sea.
🔹 Abbot’s Cliff Sound Mirror - A fascinating relic from 1928, this huge concrete dish once listened for enemy aircraft long before radar existed. Stand here and let history surround you.
🔹 Sweeping Cliff-Edge Views - The path hugs the edge of the cliffs, where turquoise waters crash against chalky walls below — a perfect spot for epic photos and quiet moments alike.
**Reward Yourself in Folkestone:**
After nearly 9 miles of pure coastal magic, Folkestone greets you with open arms. Settle into a seaside restaurant, order something hearty, and watch the sun melt into the horizon. The ocean sparkles, the air buzzes with the hum of the harbour, and you’ve earned every single bite.
**\[Check out our last trip on HERE\]\(Check out our last trip video HERE\)**
**A few things to know before you book:**
* **Tickets:** Non-refundable, but if you can’t make it, you’re welcome to pass your spot on to someone else. A full refund will be issued if the hike is cancelled by the organiser.
* **Getting there:** Trains to Dover are usually around £28 return when booked in advance, or £23 Super Off-Peak with a Network Railcard.
* **Meeting points:** Two options — travel together from London, or meet us directly at Dover train station if you’re coming from elsewhere.
* **Weather:** The hike goes ahead rain or shine, so bring layers and be ready for all conditions.
* **The route:** We’ll be walking along coastal paths near the cliffs. The scenery is incredible, but some sections are exposed — sturdy footwear is a must, and please follow the guide’s instructions throughout.
**Not included:**
* Food & Refreshments
* Transport (network railcard is recommended or group ticket bought on the day)
* Anything else not listed above
**⚠️ Health & Safety ⚠️**

🌷 Фестиваль тюльпанов в Арунделе
✨ Представьте себе день, где история не просто оживает — она расцветает буквально на глазах, превращаясь в одно из самых ярких зрелищ Европы. Это путешествие переносет вас в иное измерение — в королевство цветов и вековых легенд. Вашим главным сокровищем станет замок 🏰 Arundel Castle — один из древнейших и прекраснейших замков Англии, находящийся в Западном Сассексе. По официальным данным, замок существует вот уже 10 веков! Однако есть свидетельства, что его история началась еще раньше. Поскольку в этих местах были найдены развалины римского периода, предполагается, что в самом начале X века Альфредом Великим здесь была построена крепость для защиты против викингов. В апреле здесь происходит магия: его величественные башни и строгие рвы становятся фоном для события мирового уровня — Фестиваля тюльпанов 💐, входящего в число самых впечатляющих садовых шоу Европы. Это не просто клумбы — это грандиозное искусство. Сотни тысяч тюльпанов, включая редчайшие исторические сорта, превращают территорию замка в живой калейдоскоп. Представьте себе: геометрические композиции, взрывающиеся фейерверками алых и фиолетовых оттенков, нежные пастельные реки, бегущие вдоль крепостных валов, и уникальные «чёрные» тюльпаны, контрастирующие с зелёным бархатом газонов. Садовники-художники создают здесь настоящие картины, где архитектура и природа ведут изысканный диалог. Погрузившись в эту феерию, вы затем откроете для себя интерьеры 🛋️ замка — мир рыцарских ⚔️ залов с гобеленами, великолепной библиотеки и личных покоев герцогов, где витает дух английской аристократии. После этого спектакля цвета и истории вы спуститесь в одноимённую деревню 🏡 Arundel — очаровательный уголок с пабами, антикварными лавками и видом на готический собор. Это идеальное место, чтобы насладиться традиционным обедом, ощущая неторопливый ритм жизни. А кульминацией дня станет встреча с шедевром индустриальной эпохи — виадуком 🌉 долины Уз (Ouse Valley Viaduct). Это сооружение поражает не меньше, чем замок: его элегантные кирпичные арки, тянущиеся на полкилометра, подобны римскому акведуку, вознесённому над зелёными лугами. Прогулка рядом с этим гигантом дарит ощущение, будто вы попали в картину эпохи романтизма, где мощь человеческого гения вписана в вечный пейзаж. Возвращение в Лондон будет наполнено яркими образами: вы увезёте с собой воспоминания о рыцарской крепости, утопающей в море лучших тюльпанов Европы, и о монументальном виадуке, парящем в весеннем небе. Это путешествие, где за один день можно прикоснуться к величию разных эпох — и всё это в обрамлении незабываемой, цветущей Англии.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir | Girlies Who Read ✨
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission, and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish.
Except that right now, he doesnt know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.
All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.
His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery, and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.
And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone.
Or does he?

Join us at Canova Hall to discuss Project Hail Mary over a coffee!

F\*ck the Small Talk has travelled the world across Berlin, Mexico City, Melbourne, Lisbon, Medellin, Vienna, and now back to London for its 3rd year in a row! 😎
**📦 WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?**
FTST is a **one-of-a-kind social experience** where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
Join us for **games**, **talks**, and **connections** with **friends you haven’t met yet**. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in London every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you. 🙌
**📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?**
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You’ll never have to speak in public if you don’t want to.
**📣 NOTE**: We won't validate your payment unless you've been accepted! (which you most likely will ❤️)
**🕹 HOW TO JOIN?**

**💛 WHAT THEY SAY**
🗣 “This is the kind of activity humanity needs every weekend. Thank you for all.” - Sonya
🗣 “F\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.” - Monika
🗣 “I loved F\*ck the small talk, I was a little bit nervous at first but they are pros at making you feel comfortable with the rest of the group, the activities are really fun and I enjoyed every second (consider that the one who's saying this is very, very shy). Give it a try!” - Brenda
🗣 “Lively, interesting, introspective, completely open, and no judgment. Everyone that joined was ready for great conversation and helped with different perspectives. So much fun! I can't wait for the next one! “ - Yaz

🤓 FAQ
**• Can I come alone?**
Of course, in fact, we encourage it!
**• Can I be late?**
Please don't! "Doors" open at 11:45am and we start at exactly 12:00pm! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow.
**• I signed up but never got an invite. Why?**
We usually get a high volume of sign-ups yet we like to keep it cozy & only invite around 25 people. We believe this is a good number to ensure an awesome experience, and we’ve learned that it’s easier to build connections with smaller groups! Please try again next time if do not receive an invite - no hard feelings 💛
**• Why do you charge?**
We value our time and put a lot of love, planning, and effort into creating & designing these experiences. 💛 This is our project/business and what we give to the world and we think everything should be a fair exchange! 🎈 However, money should never be the reason for people not to attend. If you can’t afford it simply get in touch with us :)
**• I'm digging this! Can I get involved somehow?**
Sure thing, send us a message!
**• Can I bring my pet (llama)?**
100% yes (depends on the venue, ask us!)

🗣️ Arabic Practice Circle: Social & Structured Session
A regular meetup for those committed to practising and improving their Arabic. It is designed for those who know the very basics and want a structured opportunity to practise reading, listening, speaking, and building confidence. If you're still learning the very basics but want some motivation to keep going, you're very welcome to join.
Note: This is a practice group facilitated by a native speaker - not a formal teacher or taught class, and not a Quran teaching session.
📚 SESSION FORMAT:
⏱️ 30 mins Intro & Social: We'll go around and introduce ourselves in Arabic. Feel free to prepare 2-3 sentences beforehand if you don't like being put on the spot!
🗣️ 60 mins Structured Practice: A focused session practising together with guidance :
◾ Taking turns reading passages aloud
◾ Listening to excerpts from an audiobook
◾ Working together to translate and understand the text
💬 Continued Socialising: Feel free to stick around afterwards for more informal chat and connection.
✊ Note: Active Muslims is equally about focusing on the actual activity, in this case, it is a practice session requiring mental engagement and active participation (and not just a social), therefore it is advised to approach and attend these events with that mindset, intention and purpose.
📍 LOCATION: Barbican
⌚ MEET: By the cafe G Level (Benugo)
⏱️ TIME: Meet from **11:00am** for intros and socialising. The practice session starts promptly at **11:30am** insha'Allah.
🎒 What to bring:
📚 Any Arabic texts you would like to read
🎧 Headphones (optional, if you prefer listening privately)

If you can no longer attend, please update your RSVP to free up your spot for someone on the waiting list.

Risky Business
...and speaking of breakthrough roles: who can forget the first time we saw Tom Cruise singing Bob Seeger in his underwear? Often considered an updated 1983 version of The Graduate, the movie sparkles with memorable lines and original music. I only regret that I was never told that "Princeton could use someone like Bob..."
See the movie first and join us for some "Cruisin'"
Driving Success with Agentic AI for Software Development Discussion

**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
