Gay Sunday Walking Group
Traces itself to the first walk for gay men and women in March 1972; the club as it exists now dates from December 1997. At least two walks a month, a half-day walk of 3 to 6 miles in a green part of Greater London and a full-day walk of 7 to 12 miles within about an hour's train ride, on Saturdays as well as Sundays. £12 a year, any age, and the meeting details come by email.

What they don't say
- Meeting points and start times are not printed on the public site; they come by email or with membership, so no postcode or area is recorded.
- Walk days vary between Saturday and Sunday, so no single day is recorded.
Every fact here was checked on 10 September 2026, against 4 sources. Training nights and fees change, so if something is out of date, tell us.
Hear when something new is added.
New clubs, changed training nights, and the occasional weekend. No more than that.
Or come and meet people all at once.
A weekend away with a group of gay men, and nothing to prove.
