Walking & Hiking

How It All Started

A few years back, an old friend invited me on a mountain trek. I hadn't attempted anything like it since I was young, so after a quick trip to buy some proper gear, I set off with a bit of hesitation. Exhausting as it was, reaching the top was a total blast — and it completely reignited our friendship (along with a shared passion for Laser Quest!).

Building the Crew: Footpaths Are For Wimps

Before long, more friends joined in. Weekend camping trips became a regular staple, usually paired with a long hike—and the occasional weekend where we just kicked back at the campsite. We eventually gave our group an official identity: Footpaths Are For Wimps. We even have a custom logo designed by one of our members, proudly displayed on our kit alongside our official fox mascot.

Looking Ahead

Although I’ve taken a slight breather recently and got out of the routine, the rest of the crew has been keeping the momentum going. I’m eager to lace up my boots and join them back out on the hills very soon.
