    I started QHB just to find more people to hike with, and it really took off! A walk in a leafy place, long or short, or along the Cornish coast is what my heart always wants (… and snacks).

    Hiking for me is all about exploring new places, fresh air and nature. It’s also great to turn up to a group of people you may have not met before and KNOW they’re going to be super lovely and safe to be yourself around!

  • A person with brown hair tied back smiles to the camera, wearing a green t-shirt and a hiking backpack. There is countryside in the background.

    I love a big hill and will always prefer to go through the muddy puddle rather than around it. Be careful if the hike features too many cute ducks as I might cry with joy.
