Your Favourite Community Hiking Club

Our Club

We’re a 900 strong community of hiking and nature lovers. What started as a group of friends escaping London for the day has turned into a beautiful entity of outdoorsy people.

We facilitate complete beginners through to experience mountaineers, running standard monthly hikes and beginner retreats for those new to hiking, all the way up to multi day wild-camping hikes.

We run free community hikes on the first Saturday of every month in the surrounding national parks close to London and run collabarative social strolls with an East London coffee shop.

Our Founder

Our community monthly hikes are led by Jack, the founder of the club. Jack’s a qualified Moutain Leader with a passion for the outdoors and connecting people.

Growing up next door to the lake district meant that walking was a big part of his childhood. It wasn’t until his early 20s that he really started to take hiking more seriously and has since put most of his holiday time into exploring the UK and european areas, hiking and wild-camping the Tour De Grand Combins in Switzerland, walking the Camino Frances and crossing the UK on the Coast to Coast path, as well as exploring different GR routes across the continent.
Jack’s favourite place to hike is Switzerland, but has a special place in his heart for the Lake District and the Scottish Highlands.
