What we’re about

Welcome to ‘Variety is the Spice’ a Reading based social group planning a range of activities including hiking, running, cinema, sport climbing & more.

On the first Saturday of each month, we will link up with another Meetup group for a day hike away from Reading. The hikes will start/finish at a railway station so a car is not essential. The hikes are typically 10 miles (16km) so a reasonable level of fitness is needed. I will lead the walks and the group ask for a £5 donation for Great Ormond Street Hospital Childrens Charity.    

Indoor sport climbing is an option at Parthian Climbing Reading. This can be a one off or regular activity.

Once a month we plan to go on longer hiking trips. Typically, 2 to 7 nights. Destinations in UK & Europe.
