What we’re about
This is a social activity group aimed at having some laughs, meeting up with friends both old and new, whilst enjoying the fabulous Cornish landscape!
We are a friendly, welcoming, inclusive group for adults of all ages. With most of the activities: events; dining (including picnics and moonlight feasts); or cultural, based around walks of different lengths and types. So you must be fit enough to walk, but we do so at a relaxed pace and are very laid back.
Walks and events are planned for all over Cornwall and beyond, for various days of the week and at different times of day. Some are only for a couple of hours, most are half a day with some a full day, with a swim, meal or gig along the way.
The Meetup organisation charges every group a subscription to belong to their website, so it has been decided to now charge a membership fee of £12 for the calendar year to cover these running costs to belong to this group. By paying this membership fee it gives you unlimited access to all the events organised by the group for the coming year. You can pay your membership fee on PayPal at paypal.me/moochinaround, click on the ‘Pay Friends and Family’ button, user name David Jones with the reference ‘2025 fees’ and your name if not clear from your Paypal profile. If you don’t use Paypal, message me and I’ll send you the bank details to pay the fee.
You will be expected to pay for those events where there will be additional costs such as meals, gig tickets, admission charges, hospitality, bus/train fares, car parking and public toilet charges…
As a group it is important that every member deserves to be treated with respect and kindness. Any inconsiderate behaviour within the group will not be tolerated and dealt with swiftly.
Group sizes for a walk or event are kept to a manageable size, up to 15 at any one time and some are repeated on a regular basis. Due to issues in the past, for those unable to attend a Meetup they have signed up for, it is important to remove yourself off the list as soon as possible, so others can take your place.
We are all responsible for our own health and safety when attending events, especially if you bring your pet on a walk.
The organisers are hosting walks and social events for members and do not hold any qualifications or liability insurance.
It is advisable to always bring good walking footwear and weather appropriate clothing, as some of the paths can get muddy and slippery even in our Summer!
Look forward to seeing you😊

- Sunday Lunch at the PANDORA Inn and a short flat walk from Mylor BridgeMylor Bridge, Falmouth
Meeting at the car park in Mylor Bridge for noon. We will then walk along Mylor Creek and then up along Restronguest Creek to the Pandora Inn for lunch.
I have booked a table inside with the proviso that if it's warm and sunny! We would be able to move outside. After lunch we can either walk back the way we came or taxi share (so avoiding the car parking stress at the pub this time of year).
The cost of the meals are detailed in the menu: https://www.pandorainn.com/wp-content/uploads/Pandora-Inn-Menu.pdf
There is a £10 deposit to secure your space, which will be used against the cost of your meal on the day. So, if you wish to come along join the waitlist and I will message you when to pay your deposit. Once received I will add you to those that are going. There is a limited number of spaces for this event with no opportunity to increase the numbers.There is a membership fee of £12 per calendar year to attend our events which goes towards the costs of running this Meetup page.
