I had a great weekend in Cumbria with Women Outdoors UK staying at Wasdale Hall on Wastwater and climbing Scafell Pike. The fabulous group was supported by Christel and Bryony with their wealth of knowledge, encouragement and positivity, we made it. Despite the weather conditions of drizzle, humidity and 35mph gusts I completed the climb. My first trip with Women Outdoors UK and hopefully not my last. 🥾⛰️
Just finished Hadrians Wall with Women Outdoors. What an amazing experience. Emma was an amazing guide and did a fabulous job! It is a great way to meet like minded women and to enjoy the great outdoors! Definitely food for the soul.
Completed the 1 day navigation course today at Chee Dale with Megan. I cannot recommend this enough.
I was a little apprehensive about attending but Megan was so supportive and explained everything really clearly. She took us back to the basics and no question was seen as a silly question. Megan also checked in regularly with us to ensure we were all ok.
Everyone on the course was also lovely and supportive. Definitely will be signing up for another course.
Thank you Megan!
Laura was such a kind and knowledgeable leader. It was a joy to join with a group of women to explore some of the beauty of the peaks. Laura was so helpful sharing information about our route, regularly pausing to make sure no one was left behind, and genuinely interested in other people's experience of this beautiful area. I'd do it all over again!
A really enjoyable experience- challenging, but still manageable. Our guide Laura was considerate of everyone’s needs and also extremely knowledgeable about the area and geography/geology in general.
Excellent day on navigation 🧭course in Edale. Julie was an excellent leader, endlessly patient and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended! Goals-achieved: to be able to read a map, use a compass and feel more confident going out walking! Thank you
Women Outdoors has absolutely made my 2025 and is already having a huge impact on my 2026, despite it only being 1st January. Thanks to Women Outdoors I have found confidence to venture solo to so many new destinations, and meet some wonderful women. My overall confidence has massively improved. Women Outdoors offers a wide range of adventures and activities, which are so well organised and lots of fun, yet also really informative. I have learnt a number of bushcraft and foraging skills, how to navigate with a map & compass and camping in the wild. I have seen some truly amazing views, taken in an abundance of fresh air, and also kept active. Morocco is my next adventure with Women Outdoors. Forever grateful 🙏.
Had a wonderful day at the wellness retreat at Whitworth Darley Dale. We had a lovely mindful walk bathing in the fresh air and socialising with mind like ladies, after we had a delicious lunch consisting of home made soup and wraps with salad and fruits. Then we did relaxing yoga , couldn't ask for more, was a perfect day thanks to Sarah and Julie. Even got to hug a tree 🌳
Have had the most amazing time in Morocco with Women Outdoors! Emma was a fabulous host ensuring we were all okay and accommodating our individual needs. Met the most incredible and inspiring women who made these few days even more special.
The food, sunset, riding and sand boarding were AMAZING! Now booking 2026 adventures! Thank you Women Outdoors for creating a safe space x
Just had a wonderful five day trip to Morocco. So much fun and met some lovely people. Emma is so organized whilst being calm and accommodating for all our different needs and requests. She really knows her stuff and had gone above and beyond to give us all experiences which were showing us the real Morocco, rather than just a standard tourist trip. Traditional food, local people and an amazing range of adventures; surfing, horse riding, camel riding, desert sand boarding and wild swimming in the mountains to name a few.
Already wondering what I'll book next!
Thank you!
I joined the group on the Yorkshire Three Peaks and it was a fabulous weekend. It was organised really well, all the leaders and host made us feel very welcome and put us all at ease! It was a such a challenge but the guidance we had made all the difference! The group of ladies were so inspirational and everyone supported each other, real show of team work and resilience. Will be booking another hike for sure! Thank you team! ☺️
Just got back from Norway, what an amazing experience and I loved it. It was challenging but so rewarding. The accommodation was amazing with stunning scenery and amazing hosts who were happy to meet all our needs and supported us all to get the most of our time there . Amazing group who all supported each other and you never felt alone. I didn’t want to leave. Emma events are always so supporting and this was my six event and I can’t wait to do more . Thank you
Just back from the amazing Women Outdoors trip to Norway. It was truly fabulous! Every day was full of adventure - from demanding hiking to Via Ferrata to white water rafting to rope bridge crossing. Absolutely epic!
Our hosts and guides were brilliant, always looking out for us and tailoring things if required to people’s ability, but still challenging us every day.
A great bunch of like minded ladies of all ages, we laughed and had fun together all week.
Emma put together a fabulous trip for us and looked after us at all times. Accommodation was lovely in beautiful setting. A life changing trip - thank you Emma and your Norway team! I’m definitely coming on another Women Outdoors adventure!
Just back from an epic trip in Norway with Women Outdoors! Perfect mix of adventure and downtime—hiking, white-water rafting, via ferrata, yoga, and wild swimming. The scenery was stunning, the local guides were brilliant, and the group was so welcoming. Can’t wait to go again!
Wow what a week 😍 I’ve just returned from the Norway trip and can honestly say it’s one if not the best places I’ve ever been. The whole week was jam packed with new experiences, rafting, via ferrata, hikes and more.
I’ve made such good friends and enjoyed spending time with like minded people from different walks of life. 🗻
We loved it that much we hope to return next year for the winter trip!!❄️
Thanks to Emma, camille and Honza especially for such great organisation. Can’t wait for the next !
