Yorkshire Coast Walking Break: Seabirds, Smugglers & Seaside Strolls
### Yorkshire Coast Walking Break: Seabirds, Smugglers & Seaside Strolls
📅 **Tuesday 24 – Friday 27 June 2025**
🛌 **Midweek Hotel Stay** – Single & Shared Rooms Available
📍 **Yorkshire Coast – Based in Ravenscar**
This is a brand new three-night walking break with **Large Outdoors**, exploring clifftop trails, hidden smugglers’ coves, and wide sandy beaches along the Yorkshire Coast.
Expect sociable days of walking from our base at a peaceful hotel overlooking the sea. We’ll be looking out for puffins and other seabirds, strolling sections of the Cleveland Way, and stopping for seaside treats along the way.
This is a midweek break designed to be relaxed, sociable, and with a proper holiday feel.
***
🔗 **Full details and booking:** [https://www.largeoutdoors.com/yorkshire-coast-walking-break-seabirds-smugglers-seaside-strolls](https://www.largeoutdoors.com/yorkshire-coast-walking-break-seabirds-smugglers-seaside-strolls)
Goodge Street Picture Hunt
**Picture Hunt Meetup:** **Goodge St station. At the exit.**
Picture Hunt length: 270 metres.
Quiz Finish: Magnus Pyke or local pub.
"Goodge Street Tube Station is a historic underground station located in the heart of London. Originally opened in 1906, it was one of the first stations to be built on the Central Line of the London Underground. Over the years, Goodge Street has played an important role in the development of the city and has become a landmark destination for tourists and locals alike.
The station itself underwent a major renovation in the 1920s, which saw the addition of new escalators and a redesigned platform layout. It was also during this time that the station began to gain popularity as a meeting place for local poets, writers, and artists. Many of these individuals would gather in the station’s coffee shop to discuss their work and collaborate on new projects."
Picture Hunts are a great new way to get up to speed with slices of London history while sleuthing around the area.
Everyone is presented with twenty partial photos of objects around an area. Your team mission is to find them. Some well known, some well unknown!
This makes Picture Hunts more interesting and challenging, bringing out the best of your teams detecting skills.
You will also have a map of the area. It will be sub-divided into four sections, P, Q, R, S. Each photo will come from one of these.
Four players max per team, but the lower number teams get a point per player start from the biggest team.
For example, four teams of one, two, three and four. Four player team, no advantage, (the biggest and theoretically the more knowledge between them, except it doesn't always work like that). Three player team, one point start. Two player team, two point start. One player team, three point start.
Scores are always close and around the 15-20 points mark. How many players do you want in your team? There's a dilemma!
The clipboard holder enters one of the letters to note its area location. Dead simple, right? 90 minutes to do the hunt.
We have the usual prizes of chocolate, including some great new varieties.
There is also an equal prize for the funniest team name judged by Sue, my glamorous assistant. Names win prizes too! So there’s everything to play for.
We mark up at the quiz finish point. Tbc.
Hunts are good fun and the proven experience so far is that members get to know each other better after working in teams as you all have to communicate. Great icebreakers. This is what Meetup is all about. Come and join us.

'Sole to Soul' Walk & Talk (No. 3)
Join us for a chilled out, circular, stroll around Wanstead Park.
The Park is a peaceful space with old trees, open grassland, woodland paths and a beautiful chain of lakes. It has history, with traces of the grand Wanstead House estate that once stood there. We'll take this time to slow down, engage and enjoy nature.
We ask that you bring a specific topic you'd like to explore, or a question that's slightly unusual to the every day thinking we get caught in. Examples could be something like:
* If you were to be born again, which career would you try out?
* What's the best decision you made in the last year?
* What is the smallest thing you could change in your life that would have the biggest positive impact right now?
No need to bring the cleverest question. Come curious, open, prepared to share and ready to hear new perspectives and maybe even meet life long friends. (See previous events for questions posed from previous walks.)
We'll meet at the park entrance at 10.30am (see photo and map). We'll wait until 10.45am (only) if we know someone is delayed. We'll share our questions all together and then head off as a (loose) group, in pairs or threes, returning to the same park gates around 12.30pm.
Access to the park entrance on Wanstead Park Road is easy by public transport, Central Line or Elizabeth Line.
By joining the walk you (of course) take full responsibility for your wellbeing.
We look forward to meeting you!

"Words are inadequate to express the uniquely nurturing experience I had during your Aerial Relaxation Pod class... and the music was amazing! The feeling of being securely wrapped in a silk hammock from head to toe, suspended in the air, slowly rocking, with the crystal bowls and ambient music created a sublime and profound atmosphere. It was as if I was in a cocoon of total support, allowing peace to flow into my entire being." - Alison

🏘️Offline Women Explore Pretty London: Chelsea
Join us for our series where **Offline Women Explore Pretty London**, visiting different neighbourhoods to enjoy the most charming pockets of our city only through our eyes.
The second walk in this series will be through **Chelsea**. I am not a tour guide and this is not a formal trek. The idea is to wander and see what gems we can find together.
We will look for those secluded mews, undiscovered cafés, tree-lined streets, artisan bakeries, and bookshops that allow you to escape in a huge capital city like London.
To keep things truly offline, this is a phone-free and photo-free walk. We live in the most photographed city in the world, but we often miss the soul of it because we are busy framing the shot.
It is a bit of a rebellious way to explore London, but let’s see how much more we notice when we are fully present for these quiet and gentle moments.
Showing up is the first step toward connection and belonging. To celebrate you for taking that step, our friends at [The Hearth](http://thehearth.me/) — a space for women in Queen’s Park — have generously provided a gift card for one lucky attendee to win. Join us offline to find out how it could be you!
