Waypoint Escape: New Year, 13km Kent Countryside Hike + Pub Drinks
Waypoint Escape: New Year 13km Kent Countryside Hike + Pub Drinks (Ages 20s-40s)
Start your year with big views, big laughs, and a big ol’ countryside stomp. Waypoint is London’s close-knit, adventure-loving crew for like-minded legends in their 20s–40s. Think long hikes, belly laughs, and well-earned pints with great people.
And for our first adventure of the year? We’re heading to Kent for what might genuinely be the best hike we’ve ever done near London. No joke.
A stunning 13km circular route starting from Otford (a quick and cheap train from London). This one has everything: rolling farmlands, peaceful woodlands, BIG hills, wide-open views, friendly horses and cows, glimpses of London in the distance, and an EPIC countryside pub to finish.
We’ll wander through the pretty village of Shoreham, stop by the Honey Pot Café for a mid-hike coffee, and end at The Bull in Otford for well-deserved pub drinks - it's a short stroll back to the station.
