Day Hikes London

MAJORCA mountains and coast, a long weekend of hiking and winter sun

SHOW YOUR INTEREST BY CLICKING 'ATTEND' the actual booking page will be posted in a few months. If you are still interested then, I will repost it. You have asked for it, it is back! Jon is going abroad again and you are coming with me! Let's go to Majorca Before travelling there for the first time a couple of years ago, I really, really was not interested. I usually do not like places famous for holidays. And then I travelled there in November, and what a shock! This island is a marvel with incredible beauties, the architecture is outstanding, imagine these perfectly clean beige houses, churches and cathedrals that seem to be a natural extention of the nearby mountains and beaches. Imagine as we take an early morning bus on our first day and arrive in an exquisit town between the Mediterranean Sea and the mountain range, we start climbing slowly for about an hour, walking through the cobbelstone streets of an ancient mountainous village before we reach for the mountain top where we are likely to be welcomed by some of the few hundreds of vultures with their over 2 meter of wingspan flying right above our head or one of the many booted eagles that inhabit the area. And the food, I know you are a foody like me, so,... let's not even mention it. The hikes are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. And the best thing, close to no tourists in autumn! How amazing is that? I travelled around the island under 20 degrees in late November and only saw one other hiker... and a sheperd who caught me in a very embarassing position... I might tell you the story if I dare... This is now my 10th trip abroad with my hikers and I got to learn that putting too many difficult hikes in a trip is too much, so this time, there will only be 1 semi-demanding hike which will be on day one. the hikes after that will be easier and I might even give you some alone time to enjoy yourself. DAY 1: Depending on what time we arrived, we might take a visit of Palma de Majorca before diner and enjoy a walk in the forest that surrounds the capital. DAY2: This is the big hike day, we will take a bus to the beautiful town of Soller. We will climb to the mountain top, through an amazing village for some amazing views of the coast and mountains. The hike is quite demanding so we will take our time and have a good rest on the top while waiting for the vultures and eagles to come and say hi. The way back down will be as beautiful as we descant alongside a beautiful gorge. DAY 3: On our third day, we will wake up a bit later and head for a coastal hike that I still need to choose from, the views as you can imagine will be spectacular no matter which one I choose... You will then have free time before we head for our last diner in Majorca. DAY4: Depending on our flight time, we might just enjoy the hotel pool or have a nice walk nearby, but by experience, I know that people usually like to rest on day 4 of a hiking trip. PRICE: About £470, TBC, without food (Except breakfast) and flight, I will need to work it out. 1 night in a hotel is about £100 per person. FLIGHT: I will give you plenty of time to book your flight and they can be cheap as long as you book in advance. INCLUDED IN PRICE: \- 3 nights stay at a nice hotel with a private room\, I will see what is available but I usually go for 4 stars with a pool\. You can choose to stay with a friend or partner in your room to cut the hotel price by half but I would need to know long in advance please\. -Airport transfers in Majorca if you arrive and leave at the same time as we do -Return public transports in Majorca -Breakfasts at the hotel -My costs( Hotel, flight, food, transport, luggage...) -My fee -A fabulous time with the world's loveliest people NOT INCLUDED: -Flight(They start at £50 return) -Food(Except breakfast) -Anything not mentioned above HOTEL: TBC POLICIES: 1: This group is designed for the pleasure and enjoyment of all of us, we do not accept any derogatory comments or behaviours towards anyone. Racism, discrimination and other unacceptable behaviours will only lead to your rejection of any of our trips and this is without exception. 2: This trip is refundable up to 30 days before departure included.(Except flight) 3:In the eventuality that our trains/buses/flights are delayed, or cancelled which is out of my control, I do not pay for taxis or alternative route. Be aware that would anything out of my power happens, I might have to shorten or change a day trip and find an alternative activity. This is why you need a travel insurance. By signing up to my events, you agree to this. 4:It is your responsibility to look after yourself and your own safety, I am not responsible for people's behaviour but please ensure that you follow my instructions, especially in mountainous areas and cliffs or in the sea to avoid any severe issues during the trip.

The **Seven Sisters** are a spectacular series of gleaming white chalk cliffs shaped over thousands of years by natural erosion processes. Erosion has since created an “eighth sister,” and today the cliffs stand as one of England’s most iconic landscapes. We begin in the coastal town of **Seaford**, home to a Napoleonic-era **Martello Tower** built in 1810 as part of a chain of 103 coastal defences against French invasion. From here, the trail climbs onto the cliff tops, where for much of the day we walk high above the sea, treated to endless coastal views and fresh sea air. Our route follows the **South Downs Way**, passing through **Birling Gap** and past the striking **Belle Tout Lighthouse**, famously moved 17 metres inland in 1999 to save it from falling into the sea. The final highlight is **Beachy Head**, a dramatic beauty spot with sheer chalk cliffs dropping into the sea below. We finish in **Eastbourne**, statistically England’s sunniest town, where we celebrate our coastal adventure with refreshments in a local pub. 🧭 **Guide:** • Leader: [GRAHAM](https://www.outdooraholics.co.uk/MeetTheOutdooraholics.pdf) • Contact (hike day only): 07796 098487 🍽️ **Food:** • Bring a packed lunch • Pub visit after the hike (drinks optional) 🎒**What to Bring** • Hiking boots/shoes • Water (2 litres minimum) • Packed lunch • Waterproofs (jacket and trousers) • Hat and gloves if cold • Train tickets are arranged – just meet us at the meeting point ⚠️ **Safety** Your guide is a trained hike leader and Outdoor Activity First Aider ❓ **Want to Know More?** • [New to Our Trips?](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/new_to_our_day_hikes.pdf) (perfect for first-timers, answers “what to expect”) • [About Us](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/about_us.pdf) (who Outdooraholics are, credibility, history) • [FAQs](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/FAQ.pdf) (covers common queries) 📲 **Explore More &** **Stay Connected** [Day hikes list](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/hikesbygrade.pdf) 👣 [Calendar - All trips](https://www.meetup.com/outdooraholics/events/calendar/) 📖 [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/outdooraholics/) 📸 [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/Outdooraholics) & [Photos group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/Outdooraholics) 📄 **Terms and Conditions** By signing up or attending you agree to our [Terms and Conditions](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/TermsConditionsOutdooraholicsHikingUK.pdf) **Cliffs – danger** There are sheer drops and these soft chalk cliffs can collapse without warning.

The most stunning hike in Sussex, Berwick to Seaford via Alfriston

Canary Wharf to Walthamstow: Wetlands, Docks, Mills & Hidden London

**DESCRIPTION** Join us for a varied East London hike taking us from the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf through a surprisingly green and historic side of London, finishing in Walthamstow. We’ll follow waterways, docks and old industrial landscapes through Eden Dock and Limehouse, passing the historic House Mill and Three Mills before heading into the Olympic park and Lea Valley and across Hackney Marshes. From there we’ll continue towards the beautiful Walthamstow Wetlands before finishing at Big Penny Social in Walthamstow, where we can stop for a well-earned drink and/or food. Expect a mixture of canals, riverside paths, marshland, wetlands, industrial heritage and some of London’s less obvious green spaces, with plenty to see along the way. It’s a great opportunity to explore a different side of East London while getting a decent day’s walking in. ★ Special Feature: The Return of "Walking ChatGPT" For those who've joined our previous London Walk Series events, you'll be pleased to know that Toby, affectionately known as "Walking ChatGPT", will once again be sharing fascinating insights, local history, hidden stories and quirky facts throughout the walk. **WHAT TO EXPECT - HIKING INFO** Distance: **15kM** route Ascent: c.**76 metres** Estimated Duration (approx): **4 hours walking** Difficulty: \**[Moderate](https://www.aaahiking.co.uk/hike-grade)* **WHAT TO EXPECT - PREVIOUS DAY HIKE REELS** * [2025 SUNSET Seven Sisters Social hike, Sunset Seaford Swim...and Sleep well Sunday](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTA7n2QiNro/) * [2026 🌞 Sunset Stonehenge Summer Solstice Hike: Stay, Sleep, and Sunrise Sunday](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaHqS_ZI0Ji/) **PROGRAMME** Meeting Point: Canary Wharf Jubilee Station at 11:00.

🐴 Ponies of the New Forest National Park Day Hike

################# **Explore Britain’s most stunning trails in a small group of up to 15, travelling together by private minibus to beautiful, remote locations not easily reached by public transport.** **We’ve created a list of [FAQs](https://drive.google.com/file/d/12gIZWTLfA3zQsx1fb0lpv1zOWP2vC5tq/view?usp=drive_link) to help answer your questions.** ################# Step back in time with us and discover the New Forest National Park at the best time of year to see it! Autumn here has been described as nature's fireworks, and once you've seen the woodland ablaze with red, gold and flaming orange, you'll understand why. Across the open heath, purple heather and bright yellow gorse add even more colour. The New Forest also has the highest concentration of ancient woodland in Western Europe, with more than a thousand veteran trees – a few of them already growing when Elizabeth I sent the English fleet out to face the Armada. The New Forest became a national park in 2005, but it was a royal hunting ground long before that, established by William the Conqueror. On this hike we'll cross unspoilt woodland, open heath and river valleys, and of course meet the famous New Forest ponies, which roam freely across much of the open forest. We'll also visit two of the loveliest villages in the park: 🌿 **Lyndhurst** – the “capital” of the New Forest 🐴 **Brockenhurst** – where ponies, donkeys, deer and cattle are all known to wander the main street. One pony has even been known to pop into the pub 🍺 [Read the story of the pub-visiting pony here](https://www.itv.com/news/meridian/2018-09-07/new-forest-pony-walks-into-bar-and-joins-drinkers) This hike is perfect for **BEGINNERS** – completely flat, on excellent trails. **DISTANCE & DIFFICULTY** Distance: 10 miles (16km).
