This groups is to bring hiking enthusiasts together for glorious days in the beautiful British countryside, usually within easy reach of London. Like a lot of people who live in London, we are bunch of international people and would like to welcome any hiking enthusiast from any national, cultural, ethnic, religious, sexual orientation background to our group. We have plenty of experience in guiding walks in the countryside. In addition to common routes, which are available online, we also design our own routes at times. Everybody is welcome but we have one important criteria to set our group apart from others... and that is **to be able to keep an average (18-20 minutes per mile) to brisk (16-17 minutes per mile) pace\* throughout the walk**. Please see below for guidance on pace. There are groups for fast walkers and groups for slow to average walkers. We are neither. This is a group for average to brisk walking people. In addition to this criteria, we expect the usual civil behavior any social group expects such as being kind, considerate, accountable, ability to take responsibility for yourself. This is mainly a hiking group but we are planning to organise other type of activities at times like cycling, kayaking, paddle boarding, rock climbing, camping, cross country skiing. Looking forward to meet you at one of our walks... Eser & Maria. \*Pace... strolling >30 minutes per mile, slow 20-30 minutes per mile, average 18-20 minutes per mile, brisk 16-17 miles per hour, fast <=15 minutes per mile. This criteria may vary during long climbs or on uneven, muddy surfaces. [Want to be healthier? Pick up the pace of your walk.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/wellness/want-to-be-healthier-pick-up-the-pace-of-your-walk/2018/08/16/cc144492-a09f-11e8-8e87-c869fe70a721_story.html)

Calling all **Happy Ladies 50(ish) and over to have some fun**. Just because we are getting more mature doesn't mean we should give up on ‘fun’.   If your idea of ‘fun’ is a cheeky glass of something out and a natter; a visit to a theatre; taking in a walk with watering holes; having a boogie; playing some non-competitive board games/cards or having an afternoon tea out (or anything else we fancy) you will find it here!! As we want to make this an active Group, you are welcome to join our events for four weeks after which we would ask you to pay £3.50 (total) for a 6 month membership which is purely to cover Meetup's fee to us for providing the site as all events are organised voluntarily. I really hope you will join us as an active member and look forward to meeting you soon.  *Jean*

I feel we have a good selection of friends that already gel together and would like to grow a bit more but not to many, this group will be made private not in the public domain from the start Looking forward to the year with this new group.

This group is for women in East Surrey (although those from surrounding areas are also welcome) who would like to meet new people, make new friends and make the most of the local area. We are looking to create an active, vibrant group so have frequent varied events including regular meals, book groups, pub quizzes and walks as well as theatre, cinema, concerts, days out, pub nights, exhibitions, wine tasting, workshops, comedy nights and more! Women of all ages and backgrounds are welcome and can be confident in the knowledge this is a members' only group. All that's asked of you is to join in, as a group is only as successful as it is active; only sign up to attend Meetups if you know you can make them and keep your RSVPs updated out of respect to the organisers. There is a £3.00 non-refundable fee to RSVP to an event which is payable via PayPal and contributes to the running costs of the group. We only approve members to ensure that they meet our criteria.  These are simply that this is a women's only group and member profiles must include an up-to-date photo, which makes it easier for us to look out for you at events. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or suggestions! Viv & Kirsty (Organisers)

Horshamites – let’s get together and make new friends!

If you want to get out of the house and meet new people then this is the place for you. So if your new to the town or have lived in the area your whole life and would just like the opportunity to make some new friends please feel free to join.

Currently there is no overriding agenda for the group other than to share good company and make new friends. Nights out, restaurants, local walks, coffee and cinema get events are all possibilities, but any suggestions are welcome.  This group is aimed at friendly and positive people, who just want to get out and about. Just to clarify, although some relationships have formed through people coming to our events we are not specifically a dating group.
