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.

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 …

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 …
