High Beech Adventure Hike -16km
For hikers ready to take things up a level
Join us for a 16km countryside adventure through High Beech and the surrounding Epping Forest landscapes. This longer circular route takes us across a variety of woodland trails, open countryside and rolling terrain, making it a fantastic step up for those looking to challenge themselves a little more.
Expect fresh air, great views and a supportive group atmosphere as we spend the day exploring one of Essex’s most beautiful green spaces.
Who is it for?
This 16km route is designed for those with a reasonable level of fitness who are comfortable spending several hours walking. While the pace is still friendly and social, the distance and varied terrain make this hike more challenging than our social events. If you regularly enjoy long walks, have completed one of our Social hikes and want to push yourself a little further, or simply enjoy spending a full morning in the countryside, this hike is a great next step.
⚠️ Please note: This event is not recommended for complete beginners.
Can I come alone?
Absolutely! Many people come along on their own and quickly get chatting. Our hikes are designed to be welcoming and inclusive, and Jack and the team are there to make sure everyone feels comfortable and supported throughout the day. Everyone was new once. 😊
