Herts outdoors

Hemel Hempstead, F8

Herts outdoors

This is an initiative for happier and healthier people.


We were walking, hiking and spending time outdoors as part of various meetup groups. We were acutely aware of how being outdoors makes one feel calmer, at peace and also bestows a sense of achievement. As a person, when you experience something so enriching, you want to pass it on to your others too.


The crispness of the air, the clarity of the water, the vastness of the space, the sheer beauty of the landscape - we wanted these to be part of our life. We knew with personal experience that being with nature will aid them to find a joy within - a precious life skill that will help make their lives happier in the long run.


If you are a parent, professional, or individual, and are looking to rekindle yourself with nature and have great fun whilst at it, then you have come to the right place.


If you are already an outdoor-focused person, brimming with ideas of things to do outdoors and would love to pass the bug on to others, you have come to the right place. We are always looking for people like you to join the team.


If you are an outdoor professional in any outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing, sailing, kayaking, biking, etc. and think, your values and mission resonates with ours, and would like to team up with us in creating more outdoor opportunities, then if you have come to the right place.


We:

- organise fun, outdoor days out, and wild weekends away with or without family

- encourage and provide support to our members to arrange similar meetups in their area

- Support outdoor professionals around the UK and why not abroad.

Maidenhead Softball Club

Maidenhead, B9

Maidenhead Softball Club

Maidenhead Softball Club (MSC) is a mixed softball club based in Maidenhead and playing in the Windsor & Maidenhead Softball League. Formed in the late 90's from employees at a local technology firm the club has grown from a single team to a club with 3 mixed teams, one female team and 40 members ranging in age from 14 to over 50.

So if you are looking to get into a new, fun sporting activity. Softball is a fun social mixed team sport and can be played by anyone 14+. No experience necessary and no equipment required, Maidenhead Softball Club will provide the equipment and the coaching to help you get activity and enjoying Softball quickly.

What is softball?
Softball is a social and enjoyable sport that’s easy to learn and play, even for people who are not “athletes” or don’t have much experience of team sports – and the game offers particular opportunities for women.

It’s a lot like baseball in terms of the rules, but because the ball is pitched slowly to each batter (as the name implies!), it’s easy to hit the ball and succeed at the sport’s central skill. The fact that men and women play together in the same team and on an equal level gives the sport a social buzz, and most softball games are followed by sessions at the local pub!

Getting Involved
MSC runs weekly sessions on Friday evenings for anyone wishing to give the sport a go. The sessions vary in location and time depending on the season. During the Autumn and Winter it's at Newlands Girls School from 6pm, during Spring and Summer sessions run from 6:30pm at North Maidenhead Cricket Club.

Chiltern Explorers - Hikes, Walking Weekends, Socials

High Wycombe, B9

Chiltern Explorers - Hikes, Walking Weekends, Socials

Welcome to Chiltern Explorers a walking social group aiming to do a wide range of guided walks across the Chilterns and further afield exploring other fantastic British countryside.

Most of our walks start at a convenient tube or railway station and aim to get the best deals on any group save tickets for trains and try when possible to look for free car parking giving you as many travel options as possible.


All our walks are well researched, leaving you free to relax and enjoy the lovely scenery or urban views in the company of other like-minded individuals and of course you will be keeping fit. Most walks end with a well-deserved pub stop with a strong social ethos.

The walks are very varied with a relaxed feel, mainly around ten miles and at the weekend but some short walks from seven miles to longer faster paced walks of up to 20 miles and some mid-week walks. We are enthusiastic about photography and encourage sightseeing.


We are twined with a more city urban walking group London Explorers and often do events together. Chiltern explorers is based to the west of London in the gorgeous Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and also does a wide range of weekends away to other UK National Parks and other AONBs.

Chiltern Explorers is unusual for many outdoor meetup groups in that it currently only arranges the walks and leaves the accommodation up to the members giving members the option to go on the days they want and stay according to their budget, many members also car share for trips away. The weekends have a good social atmosphere and comradery.


The country walks have covered the Chiltern and Surrey hills, the Seven Sisters and Beachy Head and the Lake District amongst many others.

IN LIGHT OF THE CURRENT WORLD HEALTH CRISIS I AM HOSTING SOME LIVE VIDEO EVENTS ON LONDON EXPLORERS & CHILTERN EXPLORERS MEETUP GROUPS.


I hope you decide to join us!
