Haslemere Heathland

Come on a chilled, small group walk with like-minded queer folks looking to connect with nature. We'll walk to the highest point in the South Downs National Park - Black Down near Haslemere - an internationally important heathland with spectacular views. As for nature, we’ll wander past ferns, heather, bright yellow gorse and huge pine trees. With any luck we’ll see some beautiful birds too.

Distance: 14.6km / 9 miles
Difficulty rating: Improver*
Walking time: 4.5 hours
Pace: Not too fast, with a stop at a pub around halfway round.
Elevation: A hilly walk with some short steep hills (76m– 276m - total ascent 413 metres).
Accessibility: This walk will be on potentially muddy, unpaved, uneven footpaths with tree roots and some gates/stiles. There will be a toilet halfway but it is not wheelchair accessible.
Kit needed: Comfortable shoes you don't mind getting wet/muddy/dusty, waterproof jacket (if rainy), packed lunch and water (at least 1 litre), personal medication, and something to sit on the ground (plastic bag, sit mat etc.).

Any questions or if you are unwaged/a carer/can't afford a ticket, let me know and I'll ping you a free ticket - outtohike@gmail.com

* Improver walks are for people who have been on half day walks before but want a slightly more challenging walk with more hills and more effort required. Everyone is welcome but it is important that we all go at the same pace, so be prepared to walk slower than usual, especially if you are used to walking longer distances more frequently. The idea is to have a chilled time connecting with nature and enjoying the journey together - not ‘smashing the hike' as fast as possible. Snack breaks and pauses to marvel at nature are encouraged!
