Queer Walking Group: Mount Caburn

Join us for an unforgettable day at Mount Caburn in a beautiful part East Sussex.

Our Queer Walking Group welcomes all LGBTQ+ individuals for a day of scenic hiking, community bonding, and fun activities.

We’ll kick off the day with a comfortable private coach ride from the Centre’s doorstep to Mount Caburn, where we’ll meet our walking guide, Annie.

You will be able to explore the beautiful scenery, make new friends and strengthen existing connections with LGBTQ+ folks through engaging group activities.

Light snacks and beverages will be provided, and you are welcome to bring your own packed lunch.

To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience, please bring comfortable walking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and a personal water bottle.

Spaces are limited, so early booking is advised. If you’re unable to attend please let us know as soon as possible, so we can open up tickets to community members on the waiting list.

Accessibility

Apart from the very start and the end, most of the walk is on rough or grassy tracks, so boots or trainers would be good if you have them. Our walk facilitator, Annie, will adapt the pace to the needs of the group.

There’s a steep hill up at the start, but places to rest as we go up in stages. The middle part of the walk is easy walking. There’s also a gradual climb up another hill near the end where we can stop as many times as we like. There are few stiles and gates. The walk ends with a very satisfying easy walk down a big hill at the end!

Please bring your lunch, water and sunscreen, maybe an extra layer to cover up. We can stop for picnic/snacks part of the way.
