Creating Community with Dykes Who Hike

When Lucy and Yas struggled to find queer community outside, they decided to create their own.

They take us for a stroll around Clapham Common, dodging puddles and e-bikes, and tell us how they’re creating space for new friendships amongst LGBTQ+ women and trans non-binary people with the great outdoors for extra company.
