From Friday 3rd - Monday 6th October 2025
Join us for a weekend long retreat in North Wales. Please note this is a women's only retreat, if you are interested in a men only retreat, please get in touch :)
A whole weekend of walking in the mountains and enjoying remote, secluded mountainous dips, based from Llanberis. The weekend is spent amongst other women who enjoy being outdoors. This trip is led by a qualified mountain leader with years of experience walking in the North Welsh Mountains, who is also a qualified Open Water Coach and Water Safety Rescue (see Kate's profile on About Us on the website), so you're in good hands. The pace of the trip will be slow and relaxing, but you need to have a good fitness level, and be happy hiking for several hours both days.
You can book this weekend online
