Rabble - Fitness Through Games!
A Rabble session is 1 hour of fun and social team games.
Each game disguises high-intensity intervals within the rules, giving you an effective, all-body workout without even realising it.
We play a bunch of different games at each session (like British Bulldog, Capture the Flag, Dodgeball, Frisbee and many more), and every class is different.
Sessions are open to all, no matter your sporting ability. Each game is explained before we start, so there's no need to have played any of the games before.
Come solo or bring friends! And stay at the end for the social part!
Who knew getting fit could be this fun?
**TO BOOK**:
It's essential that you book onto sessions via our website, using the link below; due to restrictions on games and preparation times we cannot accept walk-ins, or late arrivals.

โข Visit **Shipbourne Common**, a designated Special Landscape Area
๐ฅพ **Hike Description**
Our adventure begins at **Borough Green**, whose heritage stretches back over 2000 years. From here, we follow the tranquil **River Bourne**, meandering through orchards, meadows, and the rare Kentish cobnut groves. The trail soon ascends into **Yopps Green**, where we pause to enjoy sweeping views across the valleyโs patchwork of fields and woodland.
Continuing along the **Greensand Ridge**, we pass historic hamlets and mills before arriving at the magnificent **Fairlawne Estate**. This grand 17th-century country mansion sits within over 1,000 acres of parkland and gardens. Once famed as the training ground for Queen Elizabeth the Queen Motherโs horses, today it is the private residence of a Saudi Prince.
After lunch, our route carries us deeper into the valley past the remnants of Kentโs milling heritage, where rivers once powered a chain of **paper mills** for centuries. We then make our way through shady chestnut woodland to reach **Old Soar Manor**, a 13th-century fortified knightโs dwelling preserved by English Heritage.
The final stage of the hike leads us past the dramatic gorge of the River Bourne and the atmospheric remains of **Basted Mill**, before crossing **Shipbourne Common**, a Special Landscape Area, and returning from this rich blend of history, landscapes and hidden gems in the heart of Kent.

๐คธโโ๏ธ A fusion of mindful hiking and fullโbody functional training that turns the outdoors into your gym. We use the landscape itself as part of the workout: inclines for power, open spaces for strength circuits, scenic pauses for core work, and natural intervals that keep the body guessing!
This isnโt just a hike, and itโs not just a workout. Itโs a rhythm: walk, breathe, train, recover, repeat. Surrounded by fresh air, greenery, and a group energy that makes you push a little harder than you would alone!

Hike Blacklick Woods and The Canopy. Optional lunch after.
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.
