Adam
A lifelong walker who'd drifted into running, Adam found in the group not just a route back to the hills, but the foundation of his social life in a new town.
One of the group's most active walk leaders, Andrew's story is one of a new city, a fresh start, and the surprising depth of connection you can find on a footpath.
Helen grew up in Sussex and spent years living in London before moving out to Surrey in search of green space - and people to enjoy it with. Her story is about building a new local life, one weekend walk at a time.
Jordan grew up in London and moved to Guildford in 2024, arriving somewhere beautiful with no one to explore it with. He joined Surrey Young Walkers that August, in his early twenties, and found more than he was initially looking for.
