Come on a chilled, small group walk with like minded queer folks looking to connect with nature. This month, we’re heading to Margate! We’ll be walking from Ramsgate to Margate along the coastal path, with a stop on the beach for lunch and an optional sea swim!
For those who fancy it, after the walk we’ll be heading for some food/a drink somewhere in Margate (location tbc) for a little summer social. If you want to join, please let me know when you buy your ticket. Be lovely to see you!

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

*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.
