From the mountains to the sea...
We are returning to Scarborough this month after far too long, as we co-host our Wellness Walk with the amazing Tina Boden, who is going to show us the hidden sights of her home town. Scarborough is Tina’s home-town.
Fill your lungs with sea air and bring your bucket and spade and a towel if you fancy a paddle or a swim in the sea!
Exercise your mind
Our Wellness Walks offer a great opportunity to get outdoors and network with other local business owners and professionals, in a stunning location and with a relaxed atmosphere.
If you want to connect with other people professionally, but normal stand-in-a-room-and-deliver-your-pitch-networking doesn't do it for you, this netwalking event is where you need to be.
The Walk
We will meet, ready to walk, at 1100, near the Sealife centre in the North Bay. Led by local guide, Tina Boden (with Ant helping to facilitate), we will head down towards Marine Drive, take in the views near Scarborough Castle. From there we'll visit the contrasting South Bay and walk along the beach, looping around at the Spa, before heading back to the North Bay and start of the walk.
The walk will take two hours, but we have included an hour for a food and drink stop and we will get everyone the first drink (hot/cold - your choice!)
This event will be guided by Tina and facilitated by Ant at the Mountain Boardroom.

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!
