That's right - The Legendary Grimsdyke Hikes are back, and this time we're off to Stokenchurch and Christmas Common!
Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th November 2025
In 2024, undeterred by Storm Bert, almost 300 hikers from 61 teams showed their resilience and navigation skills in an epic contest. We hope that everyone has dried out now and that you're ready to show up in record numbers in 2025!

The Grimsdyke Hikes are fun and challenging tests of orienteering, navigation and endurance in the beautiful Chiltern Hills around the ancient and mysterious earthworks of Grim’s Dyke.
Open to Scouts, Guides and Explorers, there are one or two-day events depending on the age of the participants and the level of competition.
Test your map and compass skills, find the hidden check points, race against the clock... the hikes are as competitive as you choose, but always great fun.

The Grimsdyke Hike highly recommend that Shadows, Hikers and Drivers download and familiarise themselves with this very useful phone app.
It can provide a precise location that is easily communicable without the need for grid reference etc.
