A self-guided group hike to unplug, move your body, and connect with like-minded people in nature—no scrolling, just strolling.

Strolling Not Scrolling group hikes are relaxed, social walks designed to help people get outdoors, explore the Peak District, and connect with others who enjoy walking and nature.

This event is organised and coordinated by Nicholas Bradley, who selects the meeting point, date, location, and shares a linked AllTrails route for the hike.

Once you have purchased a ticket, you will be added to a Whatsapp group with myself and all other attendees. This is where all details are provided before the event day itself.

The hike will be a circular route around Derwent Edge and Derwent Dam.

⚠️ This is not a guided or led walk. You are responsible for your own health and safety throughout the duration of the walk.

Please make sure you have the relevant fitness levels to complete this hike and are comfotable with walking over 10 miles.
