What we'll do
Each day, after a morning meeting, we set off hiking self-sufficiently, with all we need carried on our backs. The walking route takes us through ancient woodland, protected marshland, along cliff-top paths and onwards to the sea. We'll walk barefoot on the beach, paddle through the shallows, picnic in sand dunes and wend our way through pine forests, along country tracks and boardwalks.

There's also quiet time just to ponder and wander, as well as some fun nature connection games and mindfulness activities to awaken your senses to your surroundings. Interspersed with the walk will be some light instruction on wilderness skills, such as rucksack packing, map reading and kit. We also litter-pick along the way, making sure we leav...
Suitable for
Women who like walking and enjoy connecting to other people and to nature! This trip is suitable for beginners (i.e. women who haven't hiked much in the past) but you need to be reasonably fit and able to walk 11 miles in a day, carrying a rucksack. You'll need to be able to walk a mile in about 20 minutes without getting out of breath. Taking place over the spring equinox, this trip supports women to share with others their experience of change, mapped onto a beautiful walking route along a constantly changing coastline. This theme of change runs throughout the trip, so it's great for people who might be starting a new job, ending a relationship or entering a new phase of life. You’ll be heard and understood, and you’ll end the trip with a team at your back ready to support your next step.
