Hello stompers!
Dykeing Boots (@dykeingboots) is a community of dykes, queers and allies based in Brighton and Hove.
We're back in the trusty South Downs National Park for our April stomp!
This stomp is 8km and will take around 2.5 hours - please only book a ticket if you feel you can walk this distance at a relaxed but steady pace.
Key Info :
Meeting Point :
We're straying from our usual meeting spot this time and will be meeting in Patcham, where we'll start our stomp. Our starting point is accessible by bus from Brighton and Hove. We'll share the exact meeting point & time with stompers via email a few days before this stomp so you can plan your travel. Wherever you're coming from there's a very high probability you'll spot fellow stompers on the same bus!
General Info:
All are welcome on our walks and we do not tolerate any transphobia, racism, homophobia, sexism, ableism or any similar shite
🍁 There'll be pauses for snacks & hydration en route (BYO snacks & drinks!)
🥾 As always, we cannot predict the British weather - please ensure you have appropriate and comfortable footwear and clothing for the stomp. This stomp takes in some of the South Downs National Park which can be quite exposed on windy days so extra layers are recommended.
🍻 If you’d like to stick around after the stomp, we’ll be heading to a pub in Patcham.
🐕 We LOVE having dogs on our stomps, and ask that before you decide whether to bring a furry friend along you read the countryside code guidance linked here and agree to follow the guidance when with Dykeing Boots. Basically, you are responsible for your pup so keep them in your sight and make sure to clean up after them 
💷 We operate on a pay what you feel basis. Please know your ticket is valid whatever you pay, including if you get a free ticket. If you can pay, the suggested donation is £3 - all of this money goes back into the running of Dykeing Boots and towards our travel support fund.
🎟️ We cap the number of tickets for our stomps to keep numbers manageable & social :
- If the stomp is sold out, add yourself to the waitlist!
