Who Are We

I’m 23, recently graduated, and somehow ended up with too much free time but I didn’t want to spend it scrolling at home. I love walking and hiking, discovering hidden trails, and meeting new people, and I realised there wasn’t really a group for people like me: young adults who want community, fresh air, and adventure, without the pressure of running or intense fitness. So I started Herts & Soles - basically a run club vibe, but at a pace everyone can enjoy.

 

Our goal is simple: to help people in their 20s get outside, meet new friends, and feel a little less alone. Whether you’re coming on your own, dragging along a friend, or even bringing a furry companion, everyone is welcome. We want this to be a space where you can laugh, explore new places, discover hidden gems in Hertfordshire, and just enjoy being outside. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never hiked before or are a seasoned walker our walks and hikes are designed so anyone can join and feel included.

 

Being in your 20s can be tough. Post-uni blues, moving back home, or just trying to find your people. Making new friends isn’t always easy, but stepping outside (literally) makes it a little simpler. That’s why Herts & Soles isn’t just about short walks around Hertfordshire. Once we’re confident, we venture further afield: the Seven Sisters cliffs, coastal hikes, or longer countryside trails. We organise car-pooling so everyone can get there easily, and the pace stays friendly and inclusive. It’s about more than just the views—it’s about sharing an adventure, making memories, and finding your people along the way.

 

Herts & Soles is here for anyone in their 20s who wants to step outside, explore, and build community. Come for the trails, stay for the laughs—and leave with friends you didn’t expect to meet.
