Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Wear sturdy, waterproof walking boots with good grip, as the terrain includes bog, mud, track, and trail.
- Bring a reliable torch; your phone's flashlight may not be sufficient, and you'll want your phone free for photos.
- Dress in warm layers, as moorland can get chilly, especially after dark.
- Consider bringing a snack and water to maintain energy levels during the 4-mile hike.
- If attending with children aged 11+, ensure they are comfortable with the distance and potential scares; special glowsticks are available for those who prefer less interaction.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear for the Zombie Hike?
Sturdy, waterproof walking boots with good grip are recommended due to the varied and potentially boggy terrain. Dress warmly in layers, as it can get chilly on the moor, especially at night.
What should I bring with me?
You will need a reliable torch (phone flashlights are not sufficient), a charged mobile phone, and it's advised to bring snacks and water to keep your energy up. No weapons are permitted.
Can children participate in the Zombie Hike?
The recommended age is 11+, and all under-18s must be accompanied by an adult. Children should be comfortable walking the 4-mile distance over challenging terrain. Special glowsticks are available for those who wish to be less interactive.
What is the 'lives' system?
Upon arrival, you'll receive 'lives'. Zombies will attempt to snatch these from you during the hike. The goal is to complete the hike with at least one life intact to be considered a survivor; otherwise, you'll finish as 'infected'.
Are dogs allowed on the Zombie Hike?
No, dogs are not permitted on the Zombie Hike. The organizers believe dogs may not appreciate being chased by zombies and want to avoid any potential incidents.
