Come on a chilled, small group walk with like minded queer folks looking to connect with nature. This month we’re doing a lovely walk in Surrey, through the village where the movie ‘The Holiday’ was filmed. Nature wise, we’ll be saying goodbye to the swifts :( but saying hello to the beautiful purple heather flowers!
- Distance: 16.76km / 10.4 miles
- Difficulty rating: Improver*
- Walking time: 5 hours
- Pace: Not too fast, with a stop at a pub halfway round.
- Elevation: A slightly hilly walk with one short but steep hill (Elevation: 29m– 173m. Total ascent: 284 metres).
- Accessibility: This walk will be on potentially muddy, unpaved, uneven footpaths, with tree roots and some gates/stiles. There is a wheelchair accessible toilet halfway.
- Kit needed: Comfortable shoes you don't mind getting wet/muddy/dusty, waterproof jacket (if rain is forecast), suncream/hat/sun glasses, packed lunch, snacks and water (at least 1 litre), and personal medication.
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!
