Kayaking

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. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🌐 **[@Active.Muslims](https://www.instagram.com/active.muslims)** *(Follow for latest events updates)*

**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.

✨ 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. 📝План поездки: 📍**08:45 Встреча** у отеля **[Hotel Novotel London West](https://goo.gl/maps/isJaR8654Y62),** 1 Shortlands, W6 8DR (рядом с Hammersmith Station) 📍10:30 — 14:00 Замок [Arundel Castle](https://arundelcastle.org/) и один из лучших в Европе [фестиваль тюльпанов](https://www.arundelcastle.org/events/tulip-festival/) ([от £8](https://www.arundelcastle.org/opening-times/), бронируйте заранее) 📍14:00 — 15:00 Деревня Arundel, время на обед 📍16:00 — 16:30 [Виадук долины Уз](https://maps.app.goo.gl/xLycJep6dwPFsiqN7) 📍18:00 London, Hammersmith 👣 Продолжительность путешествия зависит от погодных условий и дорожных пробок. ✅ Включено в стоимость: ⚜️Аудиогид на русском ⚜️Тур-менеджер, говорящий на русском и английском языках ⚜️Транспорт, организация мероприятия ⚜️Профессиональный водитель с курсами IAM/RoSPA ⚜️Администрация и помощь во время путешествия ⚜️НДС и все налоги, комиссия платежной системы (карта/банк/PayPal) ❌Не включено: ❌Входные билеты: цены указаны в плане путешествия ❌Питание во время путешествия: индивидуальный выбор ❌Трансфер в место встречи и после завершения поездки ❌Остановки автобуса для посадки/высадки пассажиров по пути следования ❌[Страховка](https://www.coverwise.co.uk/) в случае травм, потери багажа и личных вещей, отмены тура в последнюю минуту ❌[Evebus Club](https://evebus.com/ru/evebus-club/) – переносы броней без потерь, [выбор посадочного](https://evebus.com/ru/seating-plan) места ❌Экскурсовод: £20 с человека при условии набора группы от 6-ти участников 🎒Что взять с собой: ☑️Воду/еду по желанию ☑️Фотокамеру и зарядку для телефона ☑️Хорошее настроение 🙂 ✳️Обо всем остальном мы позаботимся.

Hello path-beaters and foot-padders! Once again it's that time again: Spring is in the air, or at least it will be (have been?) by the time we touch down in east London for another big step down **The Greenway on April 12th, 2026.** It was with this hidden gem of an urban nature trail that we kicked off last year's smash-hit nature walking series. Longtime LCC-ers will remember that we didn't actually get very far down the Greenway, thanks to the torturous interference of some no-good developers who put a big fence and a "GREENWAY CLOSED" sign in our way. We diverted and had a lovely hike anyway, but this time we'll be ready. The Greenway was once known as the Northern Outfall Sewer, a raised sewer line designed to whisk away the industrial filth of London during the height of the Industrial Revolution. At the start of the 20th century, it was sealed up and turned into a linear park for the enjoyment of working-class east London, over which it passes today - from Fish Island all the way over East Ham and on down to Silvertown and the end of the Woolwich Peninsula. We'll try to cover the whole distance, for a walk of about 3-3.5 hours. The weather should be alright - who can say - but do bring a wind layer and possibly some protection from light rains. Good walking shoes and boots are handy, but this trail shouldn't have much or any mud, since it's paved in quite a few places. A snack or lunch is worth bringing too, but we'll aim for a pub at the end somewhere. There are bathroom facilities at Hackney Wick, our starting point, as well as at a couple cafes at situated on the eastern end of the route. Along the way we'll see gorgeous views of the River Lea with its branches, canal sections and forests as well as the Olympic parklands of Hackney and Stratford. To top that off, we'll have a near birds-eye view of the changing human landscape with all the big fuck-off construction sites of Bow Goods Yard, Sweetwater, Pudding Mill etc - a veritable tour of the gentrification process as it rolls on in east London! Natural beauty and political-economic field research - a winning combination, so do join us. Take care and see you on the trail!

**Come join us for some fun in the park** This is a weekly social park gathering with optional sports and board / social games. 2pm Rounders 3:30pm Social/Board games in the park- please sign up separately [HERE](https://www.meetup.com/games-friends/)[.](https://meetu.ps/e/PfHPb/z45zT/i) **How to play rounders** Not played rounders before? It's a traditional English sport for everyone, even the unsporty. Here's a video of us playing: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6Bya3T5W3k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6Bya3T5W3k) Rounders is a bat and ball game similar to baseball played by two teams. Your team will be either fielding or batting before swapping after the innings. When batting, the aim is to hit the ball, then try and run around the four posts. Your team gets a rounder if you make it round the four posts without stopping or getting out. You are out if when you hit the ball someone catches the ball before it reaches the ground or someone stumps a post before you get there. The rules will be explained at the beginning of each meetup with a practice round at the beginning. We play a slightly modified version of the official rules where if you are out, it's not game over for you. Your team will lose a life instead. This will give everyone multiple opportunities to bat. **It's very simple to pick up and the ball we use is very soft. We are very beginner friendly and the focus is on having fun rather than being competitive**. We attract attendees of all ages and sporting level. You are welcome to come and watch only too. We usually have a few people who do so while having a picnic and enjoying the park. **Come and meet us** Meet at 2pm in Regents Park. Here is the map of where we will be playing in the park (Cumberland Green): [https://www.notion.so/hyau/Rounders-at-Regents-Park-8bc419b72dde4aacaec3870d291636be](https://www.notion.so/hyau/Rounders-at-Regents-Park-8bc419b72dde4aacaec3870d291636be) You can also find us around here: [https://what3words.com/swim.jolly.youth](https://what3words.com/swim.jolly.youth) (just look out for our white rounders bases (long, white sticks) and you can usually spot us. Please feel free to bring food and drinks.

There may be limited spaces for men for football as we are always oversubscribed. **Free or play for charity** Our Sunday social and rounders events are free for everyone. The organisers volunteer their time and fund for the equipment, public liability insurance, marketing and meetup costs to make this happen. We would like our events to raise awareness and money for worthwhile charities.

This trail is a meandering path through the woods. There will be some overlooks and a couple stops at the creek as well as time along a waterway. It will not be a fast paced hike. There is some elevation change and uneven terrain. I will be using poles just to be safe! Will aim to get in about three miles. Optional lunch after if there is an interest.

Over time I'm hoping to organize a hike to all the Franklin County Metro Parks. This is the first one so if you're interested jump in! We'll start with the Canopy Walk, a cool feature of this park. Climb 100 stairs to the top - or take the elevator if stairs aren't your thing. At the top there are a bunch of things to play on - a rope bridge, a fireman pole that we can slide down - and more! About fifteen minutes there and we'll head to the natural trail, Buttonbush, Maple and Beech Trail for 2.2 miles then do a 1.7 mile loop on the paved Greenway Trail. We'll be passing our cars as we transition if you only want to do the first loop, or the second loop. Pace of around 3.5 mph but no one left behind. If there is an interest we can grab lunch nearby afterward.

Meet at Wolfe Park parking lot by tennis courts. We willl walk along Alum Creek trail, through Jeffrey Mansion Park then along Bexley neighborhood and back. Optional lunch at Trolley District.
