🍺 Hikers Social: Friday Drinks, No Walking! 🍻

Hey Trailmates!
Time for another social evening — and this time there are no hills, no muddy boots, no kilometres to count and definitely no need for a headtorch! 😄

Let’s swap the trails for a comfy chair and get together for a relaxed Friday evening drink and catch-up in Crawley.

Whether you’re one of our regular hikers, haven’t joined us for a while, or you’re completely new to the group, you’re very welcome to come along. It’s a great opportunity to meet people away from the trails, put names to faces and enjoy the social side of our hiking community.

📍 Where & When

📍 The Jubilee Oak (J D Wetherspoon), Crawley
Grand Parade, 6 High St, Crawley RH10 1BA
(We can move around to other pubs as the evening progresses)
🕡 From 6:30 pm
🚉 Nearest station: Crawley Station or Three Bridges Station
Come along when you can and stay for as long as you like.

🍻 What’s the Plan?

Nothing complicated — just a friendly and informal Friday evening.

🍺 Grab a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic!)
🍽️ Get something to eat if you fancy
🗣️ Catch up with people you’ve met on previous hikes
👋 Meet other members of the group
🥾 Swap hiking stories and ideas for future adventures
😄 Have a laugh and enjoy a relaxed evening together

And perhaps finally answer some of hiking’s great mysteries: Why does uphill always seem longer than downhill? Why does a “short diversion” never seem to be short? And why does the pub somehow always feel further away at the end of a hike? 😉

🌱 New to the Group?

Please come along!
You don't need to have attended one of my hikes before. Social events are a nice, informal way to meet me and other members before joining us on the trails.
There’s no pressure to know anyone beforehand — just introduce yourself and join the conversation.

😊 A Few Quick Notes

This is a relaxed and friendly social gathering
Please be respectful and considerate towards everyone attending
Everyone is responsible for purchasing their own drinks and food
If drinking alcohol, please drink responsibly and make appropriate arrangements for getting home
Most importantly, come along with a positive attitude and enjoy the evening

Sometimes the friendships and conversations are just as important as the miles we walk together.

No walking. No climbing. No challenge. Just good company and a Friday evening drink. 🍻😊

It’s also a great opportunity for me to have a proper friendly chat and some banter with everyone. On our hikes, I’m normally at the front making sure we’re heading in roughly the right direction and that I haven’t lost half the group somewhere behind me! 😄 This time there are no hills to climb, no pace to worry about and nobody to keep track of — so I can relax, grab a drink and have a proper chat with you! 🍻

Looking forward to seeing you there! Please make sure to RSVP if you are attending.
