Sea Kayaking

Ready to get outside? Our Thursday morning session in Dulwich park is back! At this moment we can meet with up to 30 people (of more than two households) to do outdoor exercise and walks. However, i like to keep our exercise groups small, so I have set the maximum participants at 12. For now this walk is for our experienced Nordic Walkers only, who already used to Nordic Walk with us regularly before Covid 19 kept us indoors, and who have their own Nordic Walking poles. As this session is outdoors, we will not ask you to wear a face mask, but we do ask you to keep 2 meters apart. Some of our walkers might be immune compromised or more at risk, so please help us keep everyone safe! Please do not come to the session and stay at home if: - you know you have been in contact - in the last 2 weeks- with someone with symptoms of possible Covid, or if you have been in contact with someone who tested positive. - you have any of the following symptoms: (new) Loss of smell/taste, Persistent cough, Fatigue, Loss of appetite, Skin rash, Hives, Fever, Severe muscle pain, Shortness of breath, Diarrhoea, Delirium, Abdominal pain, Chest pain, Hoarse voice, Eye soreness, Sore or painful throat, Nausea or vomiting, Headache, Dizziness or light headedness We meet by the cafe in the middle of the park. Session Price: £10 per session, £89 for a 10-session card or £70 unlimited sessions per month. Session cards and pay Monthly can be used in any of our outdoor walks or indoor Zoom classes sessions (except for the Parkinson's sessions). Pay What Works: The price shown above is the “true” value of the session that best reflects the work I put into preparing and leading your session. However, I understand that not everyone can afford to pay full price, and I don’t want that to stop you from joining us. In an effort to find a balance between more financial accessibility and sustainable pricing, I now offer a “Pay What Works” model. This allows for financial flexibility while still valuing and respecting the work and energy I provide in creating and delivering these classes. Then send an email to ailien@fitandhappyoutdoors.com with the heading “INVOICE please”- followed by “FAHO 1” to pay full price as quoted below, “FAHO 2”, for 20% off, or “FAHO 3” for 50% off. Pllease do tell me if you want to pay for 10 sessions, or if you’d like to pay monthly. I prefer payment by bank transfer, but if that is not possible you could pay in cash. No cheques please, the queues by the banks are just too long. We walk in all safe weather conditions – if a walk is cancelled, we will contact you to let you know. Please check for text messages or Meetup messages before leaving home!

Join OutdoorLads popular weekly Thursday Bouldering evening at The Arch in Bermondsey. OutdoorLads London boulderers welcome all members of the LGBTQ+ community You'll be meeting with a supportive group of 5 to 10 plus boulderers who are always happy to introduce complete beginners or solve difficult bouldering problems with enthusiasts. We usually follow up with a pub visit. This event is for members of all levels of experience and all are welcome to come along to any of the sessions. Bouldering is a form of climbing where instead of long high routes, the 'problems', as they are referred to, tend to be shorter and focus on technique, balance, body positioning and sometimes power. Because of this different emphasis, bouldering doesn't have the hassle of climbing with ropes, harnesses and belaying, which makes the activities excellent for newcomers to the sport. If you're a seasoned climber you won't need convincing about the benefits of bouldering, but for those who've never climbed more than a staircase, the benefits are wide ranging: from the physical - improved strength, tone, balance, power and coordination; mental - problem solving, focus, concentration and body awareness; to the emotional - relaxation, a sense of achievement and a feeling that mind and body are working together perfectly ('feeling psyched'). On top of all this, bouldering tends to be a very social sport where you can hang out with mates and each have a go as you feel regardless of what level you climb at.

We meet at 7pm outside The Horatia ( https://maps.app.goo.gl/p1QnyurFQh3gywov6) and head for the run together from there. You can leave a small bag or extra layer at the pub at your own risk. The winter route is around Highbury Fields and in the summer we do a loop to Clissold Park, both ending at the starting point- the Horatia pub. We run 5km at an easy pace (about 6-7 mins per km), with some people going faster and some slower. After the run, we will head to the Horatia pub for some drinks (alcoholic and soft are fine- no judgment!).

**1 week of an exclusive, small-group ocean expedition for freedivers, photographers, and wildlife enthusiasts! If you love the ocean, this trip is for you.** Each year, the waters off South Africa’s Wild Coast transform into one of the planet’s most dramatic natural events. Billions of sardines migrate along the Wild Coast, making it one of the largest animal migrations on the planet. It attracts a diverse range of predators, from dolphins and sharks to whales and seabirds - all converging in a feeding spectacle few ever witness up close. The Sardine Run remains one of the most spectacular events on earth. Each day, ocean conditions, currents, and predator behavior determine what you’ll encounter. You’ll spend your days following the pulse of the sea - sometimes waiting, sometimes immersed in pure chaos and raw nature beauty. We partner with a trusted local dive operator with extensive experience running ocean expeditions along the Wild Coast. Their skilled skippers, dive crews, and wildlife spotters bring a deep understanding of the area’s conditions and marine life, ensuring safety, precision, and ethical wildlife encounters. 📅 Week 1: 5-12 July 2026, Week 2: 13-20 July 2026 📍Wild Coast, South Africa 👥 Max 7 guests · small group only 🤿 Open to freedivers, snorkelers & ocean enthusiasts **WHAT'S INCLUDED** ✅ 6 full days on the water ✅ 7 nights at Eco Swell Lodge (private en-suite chalet, ocean views) ✅ All meals · freediving gear · expert local crew ✅ Professional marine photography + 1 trip video ✅ Transport to/from Mthatha Airport ✅ Massage included 🙌 We will freedive & snorkel.

Join us for a spectacular long weekend exploring West Dorset and the Jurassic Coast, one of England’s most dramatic and rewarding walking landscapes. This four-day Adventure Women UK trip focuses on the western end of Dorset, taking in sweeping coastal paths, rolling chalk downland, ancient hill forts and classic villages — offering big views, fresh sea air and a real sense of journey across the landscape Over the weekend, we’ll walk a carefully balanced mix of routes, starting with the coastline around Abbotsbury and Chesil Beach, building to a longer and more demanding coastal day to Golden Cap, and finishing with gentler but still rewarding walks to round off the trip. The programme is designed to offer variety and challenge without rushing, with time to pause, take photos and enjoy being out on the trail. This itinerary is distinct from our previous East Dorset trips, showcasing the wilder landscapes and iconic highlights that make West Dorset such a special place to explore on foot. This is a women-only trip with a supportive, friendly atmosphere, ideal for women who enjoy good walking, shared adventure and exploring beautiful places together — whether you’re coming solo or with a friend. Our base for the weekend is The Cow Shed in Toller Porcorum, a comfortable group house set on the edge of the Kingcombe National Nature Reserve, owned and run by Dorset Wildlife Trust. Surrounded by countryside and wildlife-friendly gardens, it provides a peaceful retreat after full days on the hills, with all bedrooms en-suite and relaxed communal spaces to unwind.

A satisfying full day on the hills without technical terrain. Day 3 – Lyme Regis & Golden Cap \~14\.5 km \| 540 m ascent \| 4\.5–5\.5 hrs \| Grade 3 – Challenging The standout coastal day and a real highlight of the weekend. This dramatic Jurassic Coast walk includes sustained climbs, cliff-top paths and big sea views as we pass through some of Dorset’s most iconic scenery. We finish in Lyme Regis, with free time after the walk to relax on the beach, explore the town, enjoy an ice cream and soak up the seaside atmosphere before returning to accommodation. Day 4 – Cerne Abbas & the Cerne Giant \~10 km \| 260 m ascent \| 3–3\.5 hrs \| Grade 2 – Moderate We finish with a gentler inland walk through the historic village of Cerne Abbas, passing beneath the famous Cerne Giant.
