Long-distance social walks across London and the South East
The London group of the Long Distance Walkers Association is for those who love a proper long day on foot. It offers regular social walks of 16–20 miles, longer 25–50 mile social walks, evening walks and an annual 100-mile challenge, plus the much-loved annual Capital Challenge (a 26–28 mile event each spring).
Walks range across London, Surrey, Sussex, Kent and Essex, and all start and finish at public transport. While the distances are ambitious, the atmosphere is sociable and supportive, and it's a fantastic way to build endurance and meet seasoned walkers.
If you're working up to your first marathon-distance walk or already a confident long-distance hiker, you'll find your people here. Best suited to those comfortable with longer mileage.
