Are you new to hiking, or perhaps have some experience but want to boost your confidence and knowledge? Then this day is perfect to help you get ready for your next adventure! We will meet at the Village Café in Goring for introductions and briefing over a hot drink then head out into the hills around Goring.
The aim of this day is to up-skill your walk – to give you more confidence to get out and discover the joys walking and exploring. We will pause to cover aspects of walk planning, where to walk, simple navigation, kit and equipment, safety and responsibilities, etc – all this while we enjoy a fantastic inspiring walk in the Chilterns. You will be given plenty of tips, advice and guidance along the way, and you can also expect some awesome views!
