Social

Note: This social has been cancelled due to low interest.

Oktoberfest is the world’s largest beer celebration and typically draws over six million visitors to the Bavarian capital. Reading may not be quite so Bavarian however there is German beer, Oompah bands, traditional foods (expect lots of sausage), an excuse to get dressed up and dancing on benches.

Prices are £25 for Friday evening, this includes a free pint of beer. Fancy dress is fully encouraged as I need an excuse to dust off my lederhosen.

Please let me know if you are interested as I would like to get tickets booked by the middle of August.

Booking onto a walk

Most walks do not require advance booking, and you can just turn up on the day. We encourage those comfortable with Meetup to indicate there that you plan to come though, so that others can see there will be plenty of people there – this really helps to encourage new members to come along.
For the few which still have limited numbers, this is handled via Meetup. Follow the link to a walk’s Meetup page (or press 🎟 Register / 🎟 Tickets / 🎟), and mark yourself as attending.
Social and other events may have their own booking system – please see the event description.

Pace Guide

Gentle: led at a gentle pace with regular short breaks for water or rest. Should be suitable for anyone capable of the distance. (Expect 2–2.5 mph.)
Medium: led at an intermediate pace with fewer breaks but still suitable for most walkers. (Expect 2.5–3 mph.)
Fast: led at a quick pace with minimal breaks. May be a challenge for those with less fitness. (Expect 3 mph+.)

Speeds quoted are only a rough guide, including time spent on short water/rest stops and negotiating stiles/gates/roads etc. but not that spent on longer lunch or pub stops.
