Come on a chilled, small group walk with like minded queer folks looking to connect with nature. This month we’re doing a beautiful coastal walk along the top of the famous white cliffs from Dover to Walmer in Kent, with an optional sea swim at lunchtime!
- Distance: 16km / 9.9 miles
- Difficulty rating: Improver*
- Walking time: 5 hours
- Pace: Not too fast, with a stop at the beach (with a pub) for lunch and an optional sea swim halfway round.
- Elevation: A hilly walk with some short but steep hills (Elevation: 2m– 111m. Total ascent: 441 metres).
- Accessibility: This walk will be on potentially muddy, unpaved, uneven footpaths, with many steps, with tree roots and some gates/stiles. We’ll be walking at the top of cliffs next to the sea. There will be a wheelchair accessible toilet halfway.
- Kit needed: Comfortable shoes you don't mind getting wet/muddy/dusty, waterproof jacket (if rain is forecast), packed lunch and water (at least 1 litre), personal medication, your swimming clothes/towel (optional).
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!
