From one mum’s desire to get out walking with her new baby grew something special
When our Founder Katy - an outdoors adventurist way before parenthood - couldn’t find a parent and baby walking group local to her, she set up her own. The baby hiking thing resonated with other parents and before long she was out exploring new places every week with a growing group of walking buddies. Other parents saw how much fun they were having and wanted to bring the hiking joy to their local areas - there are now new groups popping up all over the UK and our community is thousands of parents strong.
We are:
A Network of local groups
A growing national network of local parent and baby walking groups, led by volunteer Organisers who are parents too
A community
An in-person and online community of parents who inspire and support each other to get outdoors
a resource hub
