Who are these walks for?

If life feels loud, busy, or relentless and your body is changing in ways you’re still learning to understand - you’re not alone.

Midlife, and menopause especially, can bring fatigue, restless sleep, mood shifts, anxiety, and a sense of feeling disconnected from yourself. Stepping outdoors, moving gently, and sharing time with other women can be profoundly grounding during this season. Time in nature helps calm the nervous system, ease stress, lift mood, and create space to slow down and reconnect with your body.

These hikes aren’t about speed, fitness, or pushing through. They’re about walking at a supportive pace, breathing fresh air, and letting the chaos soften—one step at a time.

The important bits:

We will meet by the sign at the start of the marked paths at the bottom of the carpark (near the barriers). There is no signal in the car park.

Parking:

There is a lardge carpark with ample car parking. This is monitors by ANPR with a barrier system. This is £2.50 for the first 3 hours and 50p thereafter.

We will park / meet at Bwlch Pen Barras Car Park

I’m Emily - a Menopause Coach, Personal Trainer, and qualified Mountain Leader, based in Shropshire.

I’ve loved the outdoors from a young age, but my connection with nature deepened in my early 30s when I bought a camper van and began adventuring solo. Through those experiences, I built confidence, resilience, and a trust in myself that I didn’t know was possible.

The outdoors has also been a calm and steady support as I’ve navigated anxiety. Nature has a way of quietening the noise, offering perspective, and reminding us of our strength. It’s led me on some of my most meaningful adventures and helped me realise I’m capable of far more than I once believed.
