Rise with the sun - start your day in nature on our February Wellness Walk
Heading through the etheral forests on the slopes of The Chevin, enjoy the calm at the start of a new day and join other like-minded spirits aiming to get the steps in before breakfast.
Then join us for coffee afterwards, before arriving at work refreshed and ready to go!
Exercise your mind
As always, our 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.
The Walk
We'll meet, ready to walk, at 0700 in the Lower East Chevin Quarry car park. We'll climb through the forest, emerging at Surprise View, and if the weather is kind, we'll watch the sun rise over the Leeds and the Vale of York to the east.
We'll then loop around into the lower Chevin, giving us plenty of time to chat, share stories or just quietly share the morning with other business owners and professionals.
And to top it off, we'll head into Otley at the end for a lovely warm drink (on us!) before parting ways and heading out to start the day.
This event will be guided 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!
