for Queer Migrants and Queer People of Colour
Summer is here. Boots are on. Back by popular demand for 2025, it's our Hiking Group for QPoC and queer migrants! And to kick off the season, we're taking on some old favourites alongside some brand new trails!
Throughout the summer, we'll be taking on a series of small-group hikes, led by our resident mountain leader-trainee, through some of the most picturesque areas of the South and South East of the country. If you've never gone hiking before and want to give it a try with some likeminded people in a small group, this is your chance!
We'll be releasing spaces for each hike around 2-3 weeks in advance, and we're able to reimburse attendees £10 each to help with the cost of train tickets!
🥾 Our Next Hike 🥾
For July, we'll be taking on not one, but TWO hikes!
🗓 Sunday 6th July: Kent Downs Loop, a 12 mile circular walk around the Kent Downs AONB, taking in some beautiful hills, rolling farmland, and quaint villages. This is a moderate hike, with a few ups and downs - the North Downs aren't as challenging as the South Downs - with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the local village life!
🕒 Time: 10am - 6pm
🗓 Saturday 19th July: Devil's Dyke, a 12 mile circular trail leading up to one of the finest views in South East England, with some steep ascents and descents, alongside stiles, fences, and farmland to walk through. We’ll be taking some of the ascents slowly, but overall, it’s a moderately challenging trail.
🕒 Time: 10am - 6pm
🚆 How It Works 🚆
Once you sign up, we'll send you the details or where we'll meet, what time, and what to bring with you. We'll also send you information on exactly which train ticket/s to purchase, so that we're able to travel together. After the hike, we'll re-imburse everyone at least £10 against the cost of their journey. However, it is up to you to purchase the correct train ticket in advance.
