Christmas can be a magical time - but for those on their own it can be the loneliest time of the year. For the past 5 years Damon Alexander-Cole has been organising Christmas Day hikes to be sure that nobody has to spend the day alone. This year he has a mini team with him and they’re leading walks in the Peak District, Snowdonia, and Northumberland.
Many people join solo, feeling shy or unsure at first, but by the end they leave with new friends, unforgettable memories and a whole new perspective on Christmas. They share laughs and mince pies and good company.
If you want to join in, you can send a message to Damon Alexander-Cole on Facebook, or search on instagram for “Xmas Day Hike Peak District” or “Xmas Day Hike Snowdonia” or “Xmas Day Hike Northumberland” and he’ll add you to the group.
Thank you to Damon for helping so many people feel part of a huge family on Christmas Day in the beautiful countryside!
