Ready to get outside? Our Thursday morning session in Dulwich park is back! At this moment we can meet with up to 30 people (of more than two households) to do outdoor exercise and walks. However, i like to keep our exercise groups small, so I have set the maximum participants at 12. For now this walk is for our experienced Nordic Walkers only, who already used to Nordic Walk with us regularly before Covid 19 kept us indoors, and who have their own Nordic Walking poles. As this session is outdoors, we will not ask you to wear a face mask, but we do ask you to keep 2 meters apart. Some of our walkers might be immune compromised or more at risk, so please help us keep everyone safe! Please do not come to the session and stay at home if: - you know you have been in contact - in the last 2 weeks- with someone with symptoms of possible Covid, or if you have been in contact with someone who tested positive. - you have any of the following symptoms: (new) Loss of smell/taste, Persistent cough, Fatigue, Loss of appetite, Skin rash, Hives, Fever, Severe muscle pain, Shortness of breath, Diarrhoea, Delirium, Abdominal pain, Chest pain, Hoarse voice, Eye soreness, Sore or painful throat, Nausea or vomiting, Headache, Dizziness or light headedness We meet by the cafe in the middle of the park. Session Price: £10 per session, £89 for a 10-session card or £70 unlimited sessions per month. Session cards and pay Monthly can be used in any of our outdoor walks or indoor Zoom classes sessions (except for the Parkinson's sessions). Pay What Works: The price shown above is the “true” value of the session that best reflects the work I put into preparing and leading your session. However, I understand that not everyone can afford to pay full price, and I don’t want that to stop you from joining us. In an effort to find a balance between more financial accessibility and sustainable pricing, I now offer a “Pay What Works” model. This allows for financial flexibility while still valuing and respecting the work and energy I provide in creating and delivering these classes. Then send an email to ailien@fitandhappyoutdoors.com with the heading “INVOICE please”- followed by “FAHO 1” to pay full price as quoted below, “FAHO 2”, for 20% off, or “FAHO 3” for 50% off. Pllease do tell me if you want to pay for 10 sessions, or if you’d like to pay monthly. I prefer payment by bank transfer, but if that is not possible you could pay in cash. No cheques please, the queues by the banks are just too long. We walk in all safe weather conditions – if a walk is cancelled, we will contact you to let you know. Please check for text messages or Meetup messages before leaving home!

We are spending the Easter holiday in Cornwall, staying at Boscastle on the north Cornwall coast. Thursday: After arriving and settling in to our accommodation we plan a leisurely stroll watching the sunset, with fish and chips. Friday: After breakfast we will visit the oldest and largest witchcraft museum, with two floors and 3000 objects to intrigue and inspire. Our walk will then take us through the ancient woodland along the Valency valley. Depending upon the weather we may see the first of the season's bluebells come into bloom. After passing through the valley we will return through Boscastle and onto the lookout station at Willapark with its spectacular views along the North Cornwall Coast, before making our way back to the hostel. Saturday: After breakfast there is a planned 8-mile walk, taking the coast path out of Boscastle over Penally Hill. From there we will have panoramic views over Boscastle, before continuing on to Pentargon, the cliff-top waterfall which drops over 100ft into the cove below. We then continue along Beeny Cliffs until we reach the 2 outcrops of Beeny Sisters where we then leave the coast path and head in land for our return journey back into Boscastle along the River Valency. Sunday: We will head in the opposite direction to the previous day's walk for a 6 or 12-mile walk along the dramatic coast path towards Tintagel, following the coast path until Grower Rock where we will divert from the path inland into Trevalga, before arriving at St Nectan's Glen, pausing to view the waterfall. We return to the coast path which will be taking us around Tintagel, passing the medieval castle at Tintagel Head and then into Tintagel itself. Option to leave the walk at that point and spend extra time exploring the castle and the old post office, then the short bus ride back to Boscastle. For those wanting to continue, we will then head back to Boscastle along the sections of the coast path missed out when diverting to St Nectan's Glen, also picking up a slightly shorter route back down into Boscastle. Monday: Will see us debunk and bid our farewells. Option to take a boat trip with a chance of seeing dolphins, grey seals and basking sharks. Refreshments Hostel has a self-catering kitchen.

But you can still join us for the day hike + Saturday social instead! **Drop us a DM to join the guest list. 🙂** ———————— Join us for an unforgettable adventure on the Yorkshire coast during the first Bank Holiday weekend of April. This trip combines dramatic coastal scenery, legendary seaside villages, and an epic guided hike with a great group of outdoor lovers. The Plan: Our main adventure will be a 13.5-mile guided coastal hike from Whitby to Robin Hood’s Bay, one of the most beautiful trails in England. Expect: • 6–7 hours on the trail - Saturday • Spectacular cliff views over the North Sea • Hidden coastal paths • A scenic lunch stop (optional) • A relaxed pace with plenty of photo opportunities and wonderful company The hike is moderate with a few small challenges, so a good level of fitness is recommended. Accommodation: We’ll stay at the legendary YHA Whitby hostel, located right next to Whitby Abbey overlooking the sea. Rooms include bunk beds and private beds in shared rooms (2–8 people). Average cost: ~£77 per person for 2 nights Rooms will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Travel: Travel to Whitby is everyone’s responsibility, but I will recommend the best train connections. Typical journey: * 4h30 from London King’s Cross (2 changes) Estimated return ticket: ~£138 OR by own transport If there is enough interest, I’m happy to organise a group train ticket to potentially reduce the cost. However, this will require payment in advance to secure the booking. Costs: 🥾 Guided hike & organisation fee: £50 per person 🛏️ Accommodation: ~£77 for 2 nights 🚆 Train: ~£138 return (estimated) or own transport Food, insurance and personal expenses are not included. Breakfast is available at the hostel, or we can use the communal kitchen. I’m also happy to organise a simple group breakfast (scrambled eggs, avo on toast & juice) with an everyone contribution… Travel insurance is recommended. 📌 RSVP & Deposit To secure your place, you’ll need to: • RSVP via the Meetup event • Pay a deposit covering accommodation + organising fee This confirms your spot on the trip. Full details (itinerary, meeting points, packing list, etc.) will be shared once deposits are collected. ⚠️ Important!!!! A minimum number of participants is required for the trip to go ahead. I’ll keep everyone updated and will do my best to confirm as early as possible. The good news is that there’s already a lot of interest in this trip, so I’m feeling very positive it will happen! 📌 **Refund Policy & Booking Terms** Once RSVPs close, accommodation and key arrangements will be booked and confirmed (typically around 2 weeks before the trip). After this point, all payments are non-refundable, as costs will have already been committed on behalf of the group. I understand that plans can change. If you’re no longer able to attend, you’re welcome to transfer your place to someone else — just let me know in advance so I can update the details. Travel insurance is strongly recommended to cover any unexpected cancellations or changes. Thank you for your understanding!

**Join us for a superb Easter weekend of amazing hiking in England's most mountainous and beautiful national park.** Number of nights - 3. £369 for a bed in a shared twin room. For solo travellers (which is most people in the group) we will assign you a room buddy of the same gender. £455 for a private single room. £489 for a private double room (single occupancy). With the most breathtaking natural landscapes and the highest mountains in England, there really is no other national park in the country to compare to the Lake District. Nowhere else can offer quite so much opportunity for outdoor adventure with the finest hiking options. It is hard to imagine a more lovely place to spend the Easter holiday weekend. Delightful villages, craggy mountains, babbling streams, mossy woodland and beautiful wildflowers all add to the magic of this region at this time of year. Our wonderful three star hotel is located high in the Cumbrian Fells, while the countryside setting ensures peace and quiet. It is the perfect place from which to hike and explore in the Lake District. We have visited the delightful Shap Wells Hotel a number of times as we love it's secluded valley and woodlands full of wildlife including native red squirrels in the grounds. You are virtually guaranteed to see them in the morning! The rooms offer all the necessary comforts in a warm, relaxing, family run environment. This is a charming country hotel with a mile-long drive along a private road with breathtaking, rugged scenery in every direction. A pretty waterfall and trickling stream running by the front door will leave you with no doubts in your mind that this is a wonderful place in which to get away from it all. Evening meals are included and will be served at the hotel's restaurant. We will have at least 2 hikes to choose from each day exploring the highlights of the local area. The Lake District boasts stunning views, picturesque villages and hikes which offer a mixture of rugged mountains, ancient woodlands, fields, riverside and lakeside walking. On our last visit we have enjoyed many gorgeous hikes and the following are just some of the endless possibilities: **Place Fell & Ullswater from Patterdale (approx. 9 miles)** This is a great introduction to fell walking in the Lake District. Although the ascent to the summit of Place Fell (657m) is not too strenuous, the views across to many high peaks and along Ullswater are dramatic and extensive. The final section along the shores of Ullswater has been described in one walking guide book as the loveliest walk in the Lake District! **Watendlath, Borrowdale & Castle Crag from Derwent Water (approx. 10 miles).** This is an exceptionally beautiful hike and a personal favourite. Borrowdale is considered by many to be the most scenic valley in the Lake District and the ascent of Castle Crag adds a little adventure and superb views. There can be very few hikes as varied as this one and a couple of tea rooms in delightful villages along the way allow us to enjoy some light refreshment. Although we do not aim for any high summits there will be extensive views on a clear day. There are also a number of ascents (some long) but the only really steep ascent (up Castle Crag) is relatively short. **Blencathra and Atkinsons Pike via Hall's Fell (approx. 8 miles).** This is a superb route for hikers wanting to reach a significant Lakeland summit (Blencathra 868m) via an adventurous route but not wanting an overly strenuous day out. Starting from the village of Threlkeld this hike tackles the ascent of Blencathra via the steep and rocky hike/scramble up the cockrel's-comb rocky edge of Hall's Fell. The summits and ridges on this hike will offer superb and far reaching views across the Lake District and also the Vale of Eden. On a clear day the view from the summit of Blencathra is hard to beat and the overall route is wonderfully satisfying and somewhat adventurous. A head for heights is necessary. **Dove Crag, Hart Crag, Fairfield and St Sunday Crag from Brotherswater (approx. 12 miles)** This route offers superb fell walking territory from start to finish. Some ascents are steep and the terrain is somewhat challenging taking in several peaks. It is definitely a varied option with far reaching views of mountains and lakes. From the top of Fairfield (873m) we might be rewarded with views of Ullswater, Windermere, Striding Edge and Helvellyn. The walk starts by heading up from Brotherswater, over Dove Crag and Hart Crag to the summit of Fairfield, the highest point of our hike. From there the excitement really begins as we enjoy a bit of scrambling over Corfa Pike and onwards over the ridge of St Sunday Crag. We then start our descent back down to our car park at Cow Bridge. **Kendal, Scout Scar and Cunswick Fell (approx. 7 miles)** This is a walk in the limestone country that lies on the south eastern fringes of the Lake District. From lovey market town of Kendal the route heads up out of the town and continues by way of field and moorland paths to the edge of the escarpment of Scout Scar, a superb viewpoint looking westwards towards the central Lakeland mountains. We then continue along a fine scenic path along the edge of the escarpment which leads onto Cunswick Fell and then over Kendal Fell before descending through woods back into town where there are plenty of pubs and cafes. **High Street, Harter Fell, Branstree & Selside Pike from Haweswater (approx. 11 miles)** Don't be fooled by the unusual title. At 828 metres High Street is a serious mountain, which gets its name from an ancient Roman road that once ran across the long summit ridge. The hike begins with a challenging and rocky ascent up Rough Crag. A series of summits then offers superb and extensive views for miles around. A true Lake District classic for those who don't mind a bit of rough terrain! The full 11 miles would make this a strenuous hike but it is possible to safely return to the carpark along a clear track which descends from the pass between Harter Fell and Branstree. Although this shorter (7 miles) option cuts out two summits, it still involves a lot of ups and downs with some rocky ground, which makes it an "energetic" day out in the mountains. **Shap Abbey (approx. 5 miles)** Shap Abbey is a key feature on this delightful walk. Gaunt and evocative ruins rise up above the banks of the lovely River Lowther. There is more of interest on this walk besides the ruin, not least a huge and mysterious monolith early in the walk, created by stone age settlers of this region. The tiny village of Keld is also very attractive and we can enjoy miles of wild moorland where skylarks trill from high above. ...............................................................................................
