Welcome to the GOC Mid-Wales Walking Group!

About Us: Reinvigorated in the summer of 2024, the Mid-Wales LGBTIA+ Walking Group always offers a friendly welcome. We are a group of mixed gender and age - you may be thinking you are too old or too young, please be assured you are most welcome.

Why Join Us?

  • Relaxed Atmosphere: Walk in a relaxed atmosphere and meet new LGBTQIA+ friends.
  • Natural Beauty: Enjoy the stunning countryside of Mid-Wales.
  • Health Benefits: Get healthy exercise while exploring beautiful landscapes.

Our Programme: We plan to have a full annual programme, primarily on weekends with some weekday walks. Each walk will be about 5 to 8 miles, with the difficulty level clearly described on our event page.

Where We Walk: Our routes cover Ceredigion, Powys, and South Gwynedd, including:

  • Wales Coast Path
  • Other national trails
  • Hills and occasional mountains

We encourage members to organise walks or bike rides. If you’re interested, please get in touch!

New Members: New members are always welcome! Join us for your first walk with no commitment, then if you want to join, enjoy a free four-month trial membership, with the option to cancel before it ends. This allows you to join a few walks and see if our group is right for you. Once a member, you are welcome to join any of our events across Wales, UK and trips abroad.

First Walk? We understand it can be daunting to attend your first walk without knowing anyone. If you’d like to discuss ways to make your first walk easier, please contact us.

Contact Us: The group's coordinator is Gary Reed. If you have any queries, questions, or suggestions, you can contact Gary below.
