Our Queer Hiking Group for queer migrants and queer people of colour heads to a new trail each month, and for September, we’re section hiking the Ridgeway!
On Sunday 8th September, we’ll be running our next organised small group hike around one of the most picturesque sections of the trail, between Princes Risborough and Tring - a 13-mile linear route that undulates across rolling woodland and countryside paths in the Chilterns AONB.
This is a challenging hike with some difficult ascents and descents that we may need to take slowly, particularly near the beginning of the hike. There will be some VERY muddy sections, and we may also be facing wet or windy weather on the day.
The hike will take around 6-7 hours, with time allocated for breaks and lunch, and once again, we’ll be led by an experienced hiker and mountain leader trainee.
Travel to and from London is covered, but places are limited, so please sign up!
