Leave your phone at home and spend a winter Sunday walking the Chilterns and enjoying a cosy pub lunch
The day: a 16km circular hike over Whiteleaf Hill and Coombe Hill in the Chilterns
The Chilterns are under an hour from central London with rollings hills giving stunning winter views.
We will meet you at London Marylebone, then we all travel to Wendover together. Once we arrive there's a short briefing, then we set off. We stop at a cosy pub on the way for lunch and a chitchat, then finish the walk together.

Community

FAQ
Can I come alone?
Absolutely!! Most people do, and we plan the day so you can get to know and connect with likeminded people.
What happens if it rains or snows?
Light rain/snow isn't a problem. If conditions become unsafe we'll let everyone know as early as we can.
What do I do with my phone?
We recommend leaving it at home so you can really experience a No Tech Adventure. If you need to bring it for any reason, that's fine. When we hand you your paper train ticket at the station, you switch your phone fully off and it stays off until we're back.
Both hosts carry a phone for emergencies, so you won't be out of reach if something comes up.
We'll share the meeting point details on WhatsApp before the day, so make a physical note of them. All you need to bring is your bank card and turn up at 08:40am.
