Backabush Xplorers was created by a multinational group of friends who wanted to get more out of their weekends and explore the National Parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty in England and Wales. It all started with a few friends gathering in a scruffy camping barn somewhere rural and pretty but gradually developed from there. Although most people in the group are in their 20s and 30s age is not an issue to us - a fun loving and sociable nature is more important. It is not uncommon …

This group is for people who enjoy getting out in the New Forest particularly for off road bike rides and also the odd walk.  We tend to focus more on cycling in the warmer months and add some walks to the mix in the winter. Typical  bike rides  10-15 miles approx, walk lengths will be up to 6 miles. You would need to be reasonably fit but there would be plenty of stops! Although there are other more serious walking / cycling groups in the area I feel this group fills a niche for a more casual a …

Having moved to Bristol and being a long term member of a great walking group in the south-east I thought I'd see what was on offer in the South-West, the meetup site said over 70 people in the area were 'waiting for' a hiking group so I thought it might be worth a try. The group I'm used to ( http://www.walkingclub.org.uk ) is a 'self-organised' group where walks are flexible and very sociable so I'd like to follow that philosophy. One of the reasons why I moved to Bristol was to have easy acce …

We are a group dedicated to ascending peaks and enjoying panoramic views. We organise hikes in the hills around the country and abroad - occasionally going away on several days hiking trips. For each day's hike we generally aim to achieve at least 1000ft in total accent and at least 12 miles distance. In the modest peaks in the south east this will mean linking several hills together which will sometimes lead to lengthier walks. On trips to the national parks we will endeavour to choose challeng …

I've not organised a group before but would dearly love to walk with other like-minded people who want to enjoy the countryside, meet new friends and, if they wish, take their well behaved dogs. I like to walk, but am not particularly fit at the moments so the first walk will not be excessively strenuous! This is not a singles group but as a single I'd love to meet other like-minded persons who are keen to expand their social groups.

If this sounds appealing to you read below for information on up and coming trips. Join us in Meeting the Mountain!
