A walking community: The Hike Society, 15-16 october 2022

Columbia launches its new project with the first Annual General Hike.

An actual hiking festival, all around the UK. This will take place 15th and 16th October, for hikers of all levels, outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds, ages and backgrounds. Columbia thus becomes a promoter of outdoor living, aiming to create a platform to connect and support young hikers by providing free hikes, tips and guides.

The last few years with their events, led the outdoors to experience a cultural revolution among the younger groups, with the need to explore, run and escape finding refuge in nature. All this in a way that is fresh, unconventional and increasingly in vogue. This is where the gorpcore trend comes from, increasingly common in Europe.

The Ramblers, a hiking charity, will also be part of the campaign by collecting feedback from hiking participants to investigate into the motivations and passions of this new audience.

Columbia is shouting out loud: get out and hike! All you will need to do is sign up for free on their website, and walk, anywhere in the UK. All the information about The Hike Society and the first Annual General Hike here
