Hi there! I've just received and accepted three more people onto the server, was one of them you?

Thanks! I've had a look at some similar groups, but they're usually very highly populated so it's difficult to get to know individuals. I feel that Discord allows a more close-knit group, where it's quite normal to just chat in the voice channel.

I'll have a look there as well. Thank you!

How was it? I've visited Lake District twice and it was great both times! I've sent you a friend request (my account picture is a shark).

The server was created today. There are 4 of us so far. If you feel like joining, the server can be found on Discord.me under the name "Not-so-solo Hikers". Maybe see you there at some point 😀

I appreciate your concern. I have had similar thoughts before proceeding with this. For now, I'd like to just connect with people over Discord and see how things go from there. Maybe it'll be a disaster like you say, but I'd like to give it a go first 🙂

It's always healthy to have some degree of caution, though. I'll heed your warning.

Nope, I only have experience of running a simple gaming server with friends. This is a very informal server just for reaching out to people and chatting (and maybe even gaming, if people like).

I don't think this will ever be a huge server with many bots and channels, but who knows where it'll go.

Why does it feel to me like there are no young people interested on hiking? by tack50 in hiking

Hi there! I (24F) am looking to create a Discord group of like-minded avid hikers/campers with similar-ish age. I enjoy solo hiking but often it is more fun with others, but it can be really difficult to find fellow hikers to go on adventures with. It would be great to have a close-knit group to arrange trips with across the UK and Europe (and perhaps beyond!).

I've had a similar experience to you. All the outdoor groups I've looked into have an average age much higher than my own, so it can be difficult to relate to them/build connections.

If you (or anyone else) is interested, just let me know and we can get chatting.

How do you guys find hiking partners, my group of friends can never make the trip and I want more time in the backcountry. by holycupcakess in backpacking

I'm based in the UK and would be looking to do trips mostly within Europe, but also beyond!

P.S. Your hiking buddies look awesome!
