What we’re about
Want to get out and meet friendly people in the Malvern Hills area? Join us for social walks on the hills.
Our walks always end up at coffee shops and pubs. We want to keep fit, chat with friends, and discover great cake.
We walk at a steady pace and take breathers but you'll always find a few climbs. So, please be fit enough to cope with this. Our weekend walks tend to be around 4-5 miles long. Our evening walks are a little shorter (3+ miles).
We welcome all ages. Most people are somewhere between mid-forties and early sixties.
Please pay £2.50 per event (and pay via PayPal as you book). Volunteer-run, 100% goes towards the Meetup fee (around £200/year). Beyond that, we donate every penny to a local charity (currently Severn Angels Housing and Support).
Got ideas for events? Want to host one? Please contact us, we’d love to hear from you.
Do join us soon. You’ll be glad you did.
Things you should know:
You’re responsible for your own safety when you attend our events. We’re simply creating social opportunities for like-minded people in the area.
Please pay on booking. We don't want to waste our time chasing you – we’re volunteers - we've got day jobs too.
You're welcome to bring a non-member guest but remember to book two places and pay £2.50 for them as well.
If we cancel the walk, we'll refund you. Should you decide not to come along, we won't. But your £2.50 will be going to charity.
Please don't bring your dogs. We've got them too, but not everyone wants four legs running around. We tried 'dogs welcome' walks and had no take-up, so we stick to people for now.
Got questions about an event? Please get in touch before you book.

- Malvern to Colwall walk (plus coffee and the train back!)WR14 3AU, Malvern£2.50
Today, we're walking from Great Malvern station to Colwall station...over the hills! Aiming to grab coffee in Colwall, we'll catch the train back (going through the Malvern Hills tunnel).
This is a longer walk than normal (around three hours plus train and coffee stop) so we'll aim for a decent pace.
We'll stop at the cafe in Colwall (nice cakes and snacks), but please also bring a packed lunch if you want and we'll stop part-way.
The train fare is around £3.20.
Free parking is at Great Malvern Station where we'll meet (WR14 3AU) and surrounding streets.
We're asking for a £2.50 contribution to attend this event. Please pay as you book. You’re welcome to bring a guest but please pay £2.50 for them too.

- Malvern Hills END-TO-END walk (11.5 miles)WR14 4LT, Malvern£6.50
*If you want to join this walk you must have walked with us at least once before - there are plenty of walks to join before May 😊*
This is a FULL DAY walk. We start from Chase End and walk to End Hill - the entire length of the Malvern Hills. We'll also climb every peak (at least 17, depending on what you count), so expect several steep climbs.
The hills are officially 8.1 miles long. Given route twists and turns, we’ll walk a bit further than this (usually 11.5 miles).
You need a decent level of fitness to complete this full-day walk. We’ll progress at a good pace and have short breaks when necessary. If you’re unsure, please talk to us before booking.
Meeting at North Quarry Car Park at 9am prompt (£6 parking fee or find street parking), we'll take the necessary cars to Chase End (about 25 minutes' drive), leaving the rest at North Quarry.
From there, we'll walk back to North Quarry then collect the cars left at Chase End.
Bring a picnic and whatever you need for the day (waterproof, sun cream, drink, snacks). Sally's Place (cafe) is partway along, so we can grab provisions there as well (if the queue isn't too long). Toilets at British Camp and The Wyche.
Walking end-to-end takes logistical organisation, so please confirm your place by booking and paying BEFORE 10th April. We'll then plan car shares based on this number (and will ask some of you to volunteer your car).
Should you be reading this after 10th April and want to join, please message us to find out if there's space.
We're asking for a £6.50 contribution to attend this full-day walk. Please pay as you book. All proceeds go towards running the group on Meetup. Once recovered, we'll give everything to charity.
