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.
