Fresh air.
Good company.
Great conversation.
Quietly Disruptive Netwalking
Networking + Walking = Netwalking
Some of the best business conversations happen on the move. There’s something about walking side by side, with boots on, and fresh air, that lets people talk about the things that matter.
Quietly Disruptive Netwalking takes business networking outdoors, and it’s all the better for it. A relaxed walk of around 2 to 2.5 miles, roughly 60 to 90 minutes, with other founders who’d rather have a real conversation than work a room. This isn’t a race. No speed walking, elevator pitches, or pressure to sell yourself. It’s a walk, outside, and if there’s a robin, interesting leaf or a particularly good view, we’ll stop for that too.
You get the good bits of networking, so the people, fresh ideas, and conversation, with none of the awkward bits, and with the added bonus of stretching those legs and seeing some sunshine. You’ll find that the conversation will flow, the clock slows down, and you leave feeling better than when you arrived (which isn’t something you can often say about networking, unless it’s a QD one of course!)
Then, once we’ve taken ourselves for a walk, there’s coffee and cake for anyone who fancies it. Entirely optional, buy whatever takes your fancy and what your appetite deserves.
Come to meet new people, catch up with familiar faces, swap ideas, or simply get out of the office and remember there’s sky up there. You’re welcome either way.
Netwalking is all about fresh air, good company and great conversation.
Come and join us. Bring your comfy shoes, ideally ones that don’t mind a bit of mud!
Upcoming Netwalking Event:
Our first Quietly Disruptive Netwalking takes place on 11th December 2026.
When: 11th December 2026, 10am start
Where: Sudbury, Station Rd, Sudbury, Suffolk CO10 2SU
Cost: Free to attend.
Cafe: Waite & Rose, Sudbury Waitrose
Pay for whatever food and drink you order.
The route:
We meet by Waitrose in Sudbury (which has LOADS of parking) and set off along the old railway path, a flat, traffic-free walk alongside the water meadows, gentle underfoot and suited to all paces. There’s a bit of history under your feet, too. The path follows the course of the old Stour Valley railway line, which carried trains through the valley until it closed in the 1960s and was quietly handed back to nature. You’re walking through the landscape that shaped painters like Gainsborough, born right here in Sudbury, so there’s always something to look at and talk about. We’ll head out along a stretch of it, then, depending on the weather and how muddy things are, either loop back the same way or make a circular of it.
How to come along:
It’s easy. Simply fill in the form below, letting me know that you’d like to come along to the upcoming event. I’ll confirm you place and add you to the guest list.
There’s no complicated booking system, tickets to print or hoops to jump through. Just an old school approach to networking, that focuses on creating connection.
One honest thing, spaces are limited at each netwalking event. There are around 10 places at each, so if this type of networking sounds up your street, don’t delay, get in touch to reserve your spot.
