Are you looking to do more adventures? Struggling to convince your friends or family to join you? Looking to meet new people in East Lothian who actually want to get outside and explore?

If any of that sounds familiar, East Lothian Adventure Socials could be exactly what you're looking for. It's a community built around getting outdoors, trying new things, and doing it alongside people who are just as keen as you are.

We'll let Sarah Macdonald, owner of CrossFit Haddington and a long-time friend of Ocean Vertical, tell you how it came about.

Time Slips Away

I don't know about you, but I find time seems to pass more and more quickly. Maybe it's an age thing, or maybe it's just life being busy, but in the blink of an eye another month has flown by.

How I Found Ocean Vertical

I've been connected with Ocean Vertical since they started, and I absolutely love what they offer. Adventure, fun, and connection. They create opportunities for the kinds of things you might see and think, I'd love to try that, but maybe you're not quite sure where to begin. That was definitely me.

Since Ocean Vertical began, I've had the chance to experience the Scottish coastline in the most adventurous way through coasteering, winter mountaineering, and summer hill walking in the epic Highlands, archery and axe throwing in the stunning woods of East Lothian, and even trekking in the Himalayas on their life-changing Nepal adventure. Ocean Vertical has also played a key role in the development and bonding of my team at CrossFit Haddington through team days out and by hosting team meetings at their fantastic HQ.

Why I Started East Lothian Adventure Socials

Because of the impact these experiences with OV have had on me, I've had a strong desire to get more people involved and to build a community around adventure. Knowing how quickly time passes, and how intentional we need to be so we don't miss out on these opportunities, the idea for East Lothian Adventure Socials was born.

What It's All About

East Lothian Adventure Socials aims to create a community for people who are keen to get out and do adventurous things, but who often don't know where to start or how to make the time. There's a monthly organised outing, see the schedule below for the next few months, as well as the opportunity for people to post ideas of things they'd like to do so others can come along too.
