Why Join Us?
This isn’t just a retreat, it’s a reset button. A chance to swap deadlines and routines for windswept hills, starry skies and the laughter of women who get it.
Across the weekend you’ll share meals, stories and miles with like minded adventurers, building bonds that often last long after the backpacks are unpacked. The Yorkshire Dales will do their work too, the wide open views, fresh air and quiet trails have a way of reminding you what really matters.
And then there’s the joy of challenge: hiking further than you thought you could, dipping into icy waters, clinking glasses at the finish. It’s about testing your limits in a safe, supportive space and finding out just how strong you really are.
You’ll head home with muddy boots, rosy cheeks, a full heart and memories that stay with you for years to come. 🌿
