We’ll meet at the accommodation first, and then ideally car share to the start point for the first walk. 

We will check into the accommodation after the first walk. 

Please bring food with you for breakfasts, lunches, and plenty of snacks for the trip.

There is a small local corner shop nearby (around a 15-minute drive) if you need any top ups.

Evening meals will either be booked at a local restaurant or we may opt for a takeaway on some evenings.

A self-catering kitchen is available if you’d prefer to cook your own meals. 

Please note there is one upright fridge, so space is limited, where possible, bring food that can be stored ambient.

Tea, coffee, and milk (cow & oat) will be provided.

Guides: 

Our Walks are led by a qualified walking leader with Mountain Training UK and Outdoor First Aider. 

Weather: 

We love the sun but if it is having a day off please be aware activities will still go ahead in the rain. However if conditions are unsafe, activities are subject to be changed or cancelled for safety reasons. If we do have to cancel an activity, we'll do our best to arrange an alternative plan for the day. Unsafe weather can include heavy rain, strong wind, snow, thunder & lightning for example.

Terrain: 

Hikes on this trip are Moderate to Challenging - suitable for those comfortable walking up to 17 km with elevation and 6+ hrs walking. 

The terrain will vary throughout the weekend and includes rolling moorland, rugged hills, steep ascents and descents, uneven rocky paths, riverside trails, farmland tracks, and sections through woodland. There may also be wet or boggy ground in places, particularly on the moors, along with loose stone and uneven surfaces underfoot.

Some routes will pass through classic Yorkshire Dales landscapes including waterfalls, river valleys, and open fellside, where paths can be narrow, steep, or exposed. Good fitness, sure-footedness, and appropriate footwear are essential, along with confidence on uneven and occasionally steep terrain.

You must be physically fit, well and capable of sustained walking. You are responsible for your own health & Safety and should be confident hiking for several hours in variable conditions. 

Sign Up Form:

Please complete the below sign up form at least 7 days before the start of the trip

https://form.jotform.com/201554976381058

When completing your form, please let us know if you have any injuries, illnesses, or additional needs that could help us plan and manage the walk safely. This is not about excluding anyone - it's so we can be aware, prepared and carry any additional kit if needed to support you on the day. 

Activities, Firtness & Personal Responsibility:

It is your responsibility to ensure you book a trip that matches your current fitness level and experience. Our walks and activities are graded to help guide your choice, but please read the full trip description carefully and consider the distance, elevation, terrain, pace, and any specific requirements.

If, at any point, the activity leader has concerns about your ability to complete a walk within the required time or at a suitable pace—or feels you may not be able to take part safely—you may be asked not to join the activity. This decision is never taken lightly and is made in the interest of the safety, wellbeing, and enjoyment of the whole group.

Some walks and activities take place in remote or exposed areas, where options to shorten or leave early may be limited. Fatigue, weather conditions, or lack of preparation can present real risks, particularly on multi-day trips.

Outdoor activities carry an element of inherent risk, which cannot be completely eliminated. During guided activities, leaders take all reasonable care to manage the group safely. However, participants remain responsible for their own actions, decisions, and personal safety at all times.

Accommodation & Free Time:

Time spent at the accommodation—including use of kitchens, appliances, outdoor areas, and other facilities—is considered free time and is not a supervised or guided activity.

Participants are responsible for their own safety and actions while at the property. Adventure Women UK and its leaders are not liable for any injury, loss, or damage arising from personal time or the use of accommodation facilities.

Guests should follow any guidance or rules provided by the property and use all facilities sensibly and at their own risk.

Adventure Women UK trips are all about shared experiences — walking, laughing, and adventuring together in a supportive and welcoming environment. To make sure everyone feels comfortable and included, please keep the following in mind throughout the trip:

Be Kind & Inclusive:
Treat everyone with respect, kindness, and patience. We’re all here for the same reason — to enjoy the outdoors and connect with like-minded women. Please help create a friendly, non-judgmental atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and valued.

Respect Space & Cleanliness:
Be mindful of shared spaces — whether that’s bunkhouse kitchens, bathrooms, or common areas. Keep your gear tidy, clean up after yourself, and be considerate of others’ need for quiet time or rest.

Be Considerate & Encouraging:
We all come with different experiences, comfort levels, and strengths. A positive attitude and consideration for others help create a relaxed and enjoyable group dynamic. Support goes both ways — everyone contributes to making the trip a great experience for the whole group.

Follow Safety Guidance:
Please follow your leader’s instructions at all times and stay within the planned route. If you notice anything unsafe or feel unwell, let a leader know straight away. The use of alcohol or anything that could impair judgement during activities is not permitted.

Environment & Community:
We follow Leave No Trace principles — take all litter home, respect wildlife, and stick to paths where possible. We’re guests in the landscapes and communities we visit, so please be polite, responsible, and respectful towards local people and places.

Confidentiality & Privacy:
What’s shared within the group stays within the group. Respect personal boundaries, and never share others’ stories or photos without permission.

By joining this trip, you’re agreeing to uphold the Adventure Women UK ethos — one of kindness, inclusion, responsibility, and adventure with integrity.

We kindly ask everyone to treat the accommodation with respect throughout the trip.

Participants are responsible for any damage or loss caused to the property, its contents, or facilities during their stay. Any breakages or damage must be reported as soon as possible. Where damage is attributable to an individual, the cost of repair or replacement may be charged to that participant.

Before departure, all guests are expected to leave the accommodation in a clean and tidy condition. This includes basic tasks such as washing up, removing personal belongings and rubbish, and leaving shared spaces as they were found. This is a light clean rather than a full deep clean, but helps ensure we meet the property’s checkout requirements.

Thank you for helping us look after the places we stay.

Please note: By RSVPing yes to any event you are agreeing to our Ts&Cs

You acknowledge that outdoor activities involve inherent risks, including but not limited to slips, trips, falls, drowning, exposure to extreme weather, equipment failure, medical emergencies, serious injury and death and voluntarily assume all such risks.
