About this Event
Waypoint Escape: 🎄🎅🏽❄️ Festive 14km Chess Valley Hike + Pub Stop & Xmas Quiz (Ages 20s-40s)
Waypoint is London’s close-knit, adventure-loving crew for like-minded legends (20's - 40's). Big hikes, belly laughs, post-walk pints - and pushing yourself a little further each time.
Wrap up 2025 with a 14km circular hike through the beautiful Chess Valley in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Starting from Amersham, this scenic route takes you along countryside lanes, through woodland pockets, and across open farmland, with lovely views over the River Chess. This wintry Christmas hike is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, stretch your legs, and get into the festive spirit.
🚆 Easy from London – Amersham is on the Metropolitan Line, making it a hassle-free escape from the city. After the hike, we’ll end at the Boot & Slipper, a cozy country pub with heated outdoor space, mulled wine, and well-deserved drinks, along with a festive pub quiz hosted by your guides, Beth & Jon.
Let’s make this final Waypoint Crew adventure of 2025 one to remember!
