THE GROUP NOBODY BUILT. UNTIL NOW.

After your mid-twenties, there's no natural way to meet new people. Work gives you colleagues. Apps give you strangers. The pub gives you the same six faces you've had for five years.

We run a monthly hike in the North West. Twenties and thirties only. You apply, you come on one, and if it's good you keep showing up.

"The friendships you make on a five-hour walk are different to anything you'll build in a bar. There's nowhere to hide and nowhere you'd rather be."

The Lakes are two hours away. The Peaks are one. Snowdonia is ninety minutes. Most people spend their weekends not using any of it.

THREE THINGS WE NEED FROM YOU.

01
ROUGHLY 25–35.

It's what makes the group work. A year either side — just get in touch.

02
DECENT FITNESS.

Not a fell runner — just 12–18km on rough ground without needing rescuing.

03
ACTUALLY SHOW UP.

We want people who come on walks, not people who join the chat and ghost after two months.

SIMPLE AS IT GETS.

Step 01
YOU APPLY

Short form. 90 seconds. We read every one.

Step 02
AARON CALLS YOU

A real phone call. Not an email. Who's in the group, what to expect, where to be.

Step 03
COME ON A WALK

Full route, exact meeting point, someone to walk with from the car park.

Step 04
YOU'RE IN

Monthly walks. Post-hike pub. Free. Always.

WHO'S IN.

Everyone here earned their place by showing up. This is who we are.
