What we’re about
ABOUT
LOVE TO HIKE caters for more experienced 'long haul' hikers who prefer longer, harder, faster hikes. No other group hikes as far as often as Love To Hike and no other group has such a large a repertoire of different routes as Love To Hike.
Uniquely, every Love To Hike is guaranteed. This means that when you attend a Love To Hike and are dissatisfied with the Love To Hike experience, you can request a full no quibble refund. Kindly note that Love To Hike has no control over the weather nor the hiking conditions on the day (i.e. mud, obstacles, standing water, footpath closures etc.). Whatever the weather, and whatever the conditions, Love To Hike hikes.
All Love To Hikes are set in the magnificent countryside to the west and south of London including theNorth Downs, South Downs and Chilterns and everything inbetween. All routes start and finish from a train station and include scheduled indoor toilet stops wherever possible. The maximum number for a Love To Hike is usually 20.
Love To Hikes are a minimum of 15 miles (25 kilometres) and a maximum of 30 miles (50 kilometres). Nevertheless, most of the Love To Hikes are between 15 to 20 miles (25 to 32 kilometres). This means that even in the middle of winter, Love To Hike goes further than the best of the rest manage at the height of summer.
There is a Love To Hike most weekends throughout the year. Love To Hikes generally alternate between Saturdays and Sundays. We hike at a sensible brisk pace and average around three miles (five kilometres) per hour. This means our hiking speed is faster than the average due to swing gates, stiles and regroupings.

LOVE TO HIKERS
LOVE TO HIKE appeals to lovers of the great outdoors who are already ‘fit to hike’ rather than novices aspiring to walk to get fit. Love To Hike is a mini United Nations attracting a broad mix of hikers with a shared passion for exploring beautiful countryside.
