Hey everyone!
This Saturday, we’ve got an awesome hike lined up that’ll last between 6 to 8 hours, so get ready to have a great time out in nature. We’ll be moving at a steady pace, but don’t worry, we’re going to stop halfway for a picnic break. Make sure to bring something tasty to eat!
Our guides are top-notch and know their stuff—they’ll be carrying a first aid kit and are trained in first aid, so we’re all set. The best part? We’re a registered non-profit club with the BMC in the UK, so we’re all about having fun while keeping it serious too. Age doesn’t matter here, whether you’re 1 or 100, the only limits are the ones you set for yourself. Just a heads-up, if you’re the type who loves taking lots of photos, make sure to keep the group in sight.
After the hike, we’ll have about 1.5 to 3 hours (depending on the weather and daylight) to chill and grab some drinks at a nearby pub. It’s a great way to wrap up the day and get to know each other better!
