Joining CLOG

We are a friendly hiking, cycling, walking and other outdoor activity club for people based in or near Greater London.
The club is run by its members for its members.  Most are over 35s (typically mid 30s to 60s) but all ages (over 18) welcome.  Not a family group, so we can't take children on our activities.

Multi-day Trips Away in the UK and abroad

As well as day walks, cycle rides and social events, we usually have around 20 or more outdoor adventure multi-day trips away each year - walking, cycling, city breaks etc in the UK and abroad. CLOG multi-day trips are non-commercial and are run at cost or occasionally subsidised. CLOG is a club run for and by members.

What sort of cycling we do

We have easy cycle rides using trains from London to explore unusual places you never knew were there, rather than cycling in chain gangs or rushing through as much tarmac as possible.  

Together we explore lost railways, cycle ferries, old forts, castles, marshes, canals, ancient churches, winding rivers and wide skies, ancient woods, village greens, old pubs, martello towers, windmills, follies, sea marks, sailing barges, light ships, gun emplacements and more.
