Why we need donations
Lucy and Emily currently run the Walking Post website and open walks without any funding. As we grow, our expenses are growing too, so we need your help.
If you have enjoyed taking a guided walk with us or gained inspiration from the routes on our website, please do consider supporting us so that we can continue to offer our open walks free of charge and offer a free resource of walking routes to get out into the countryside using public transport. There are more than 300 walks in the pipeline, so watch this space!
Your donations will help support
- Ongoing upkeep and maintenance of the website
- Regular updates including new walking routes and blogs
- An ongoing calendar of open walks around London & South East
- Two new long-distance routes in 2025 including a London to Alton walk for the Alton Walking Festival
- Monthly newsletter
Who we are
The Walking Post is a not-for-profit website promoting walking routes in and around London and the southeast which are accessible by public transport. Created and run by Lucy Maddison and Emily Morrison, two friends who walk with a group of fellow hikers most weekends, they also offer free ‘open’ walks once a month, which anyone can join.
