About us

We began as a simple idea between a few LGBTQ+ friends who wanted to blend their love of hiking with a deeper sense of community. We believe the outdoors should be welcoming, supportive, and accessible. That’s why we host hikes for all levels, from relaxed strolls to more challenging trails.

Whether you’re looking to build confidence, explore the countryside, or simply connect with new people, Trailblazers is here to walk with you.Join us for fresh air, friendship, and the freedom to be yourself — all while discovering the beautiful trails of Sussex and beyond.
