Details

Come on a chilled, small group walk with like minded queer folks looking to connect with nature. This month, we’ll be heading to the South Downs National Park for a gorgeous walk from the beautiful village of Amberley, down the river to the medieval market town of Arundel in West Sussex. We’ll be on the lookout for elderflowers, reed warblers and (if we’re lucky!) water voles. Well behaved dogs are very welcome!

Distance: 12.4km / 7.7 miles
Difficulty rating: Beginner*
Walking time: 3.5 hours
Pace: Not too fast, with a stop halfway for lunch (outside, bring a packed lunch!) and a stop at a riverside pub towards the end.
Elevation: Mostly flat with some very short, steep hills (from -2m to 28m, total ascent 112 metres).
Accessibility: This walk will be on potentially muddy, unpaved, uneven footpaths with tree roots and some gates/stiles. There will be an accessible toilet en route but close to the end.
Kit needed: Sturdy shoes you don't mind getting potentially wet and muddy (trainers with good grip, walking shoes/boots etc.), waterproof jacket, a small rucksack to carry your food (lunch and snacks), water (at least 1 litre), personal medication, something to sit on the ground (plastic bag, sit mat etc.).

Once you buy your ticket, look out for a confirmation email with more info about where to meet on the day.

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

Don't forget to follow @outtohike for info about future walks!

*Beginner walks are for people who have been on short walks before (dog walks, walks with friends/family, complete beginner walks in a group etc.) but want to try a half day walk that involves walking a little further with a few more hills. 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 connect with nature and enjoy the journey together - not to ‘smash the hike' as fast as possible.
