Join us for a wonderful Wellness Walk, hosted on behalf of Leeds Children’s Charity and The Northern Affinity - a unique chance to blend business networking with a breath of fresh air and well-being!
Connect with other businesses and see the amazing work the Leeds Children’s Charity does at Lineham Farm
Take the morning to expand your business connections while enjoying a guided walk through the stunning 120 acres of Lineham Farm’s diverse countryside. It’s the perfect opportunity to breathe in the fresh air, connect with like-minded business owners, and engage with professionals from a variety of sectors in a relaxed, natural setting.
Whether you’re looking to exchange ideas, forge new partnerships, or simply enjoy the outdoors with great company, our Wellness Walk offers a refreshing way to build meaningful connections that benefit both you and your business.
The Walk
On arrival, treat yourself to some refreshments whilst you settle in. Our Networking events are designed to be informal and casual, all you need to bring is yourself and your enthusiasm!
You'll embark on a guided walk through the breathtaking Lineham Farm and its picturesque surroundings, offering a refreshing wellness experience and the chance to connect with like-minded individuals.
We're hoping for glorious sunshine and dry weather, but just in case, be prepared! Bring your wellies and sensible clothing so you're ready for whatever the day brings.
The walk will be approximately 5km and will include fields, stiles, and uneven terrain. Whilst it is not a strenuous walk and is suitable for people of all fitness levels, please note that due to the nature of the terrain, it is not fully accessible for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our view on the weather is that you can get as much benefit from expeditions in poor conditions as you can in perfect conditions. If we believe that the weather poses a significant risk to your safety, we will cancel the event and issue a refund to all participants.
-
Safety is at the core of what we do. Ant is a fully qualified and insured Mountain Leader and Hill and Moorland Leader, and is experienced in ‘old-skool’ navigation (and ‘new-skool’ navigation too), outdoor first aid and leading groups safely into the hills.
-
Yes! You are welcome to bring your companion along. We do ask that your dog starts on a lead, is well-behaved and calm, and you are mindful of others in the group who may not be as curious/enthusiastic about your friend as they are about others!
-
Events will be arranged to start in locations where parking is available. We endeavour to make events reachable by public transport, but this isn't always possible. The event briefing will contain further information.
-
I provide a recommended 'kit list', but generally I recommend bringing a sturdy pair of boots/shoes suitable for walking in, a light, waterproof jacket and enough layers for the weather we expect.
-
Most walks will be accessible for most people. Mountain Boardroom has 5 walk grades - Light, Moderate, Challenging, Tough and Extreme. All Wellness Walks are ranked between light and moderate. 'Light' covers most flat routes, 'Moderate' has some short hill climbs.
-
Priorities, right? We'll head to a cafe/inn/pub at the end of the walk - for anyone who comes along, I'll get the first drink in.
-
If it's 7 days prior to the event, message me and I'll refund you. I absorb Eventbrite fees in the ticket price, so you may still need to pay these. Between 2 and 7 days, I will offer you a free place on another Wellness Walk. Less than 2 days - no worries, but no refund, sorry!
