Visit ancient woodlands, a stunning gorge and the historic town of Knaresborough on our November Wellness Walk
A perfect escape from the office at the end of a busy week! Come and join us on our monthly Reset Ramble, as we head out to this delightful town just 40 minutes from Leeds
Get away from your desk, out of the office and give yourself some time and space for you, away from all the distractions, all while getting the steps in and chatting with like-minded professionals and business owners.
Exercise your mind
Our monthly Reset Rambles runs every second Friday of the month, and offers a great opportunity to get outdoors and network with other local business owners and professionals, in stunning locations and with a relaxed atmosphere.
If you want to connect with other real people for business and work, 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
Starting in the gorgeous town of Knaresborough, on the banks of the River Nidd, we head along the peaceful river for a short distance, before following a track through meadows, climbing up out of the town.
We follow the track to Old Bilton, before heading back towards the river and dropping into the stunning Nidd Gorge.
Following the river and gorge through ancient woodland, we eventually emerge back in civilisation in the subrurbs of Knaresborough, before heading back to the town for a well-deserved drink (on us) at The Worlds End pub.
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!
-
This varies from walk-to-walk, but we have a maximum of 15 people. I find that in groups larger than this, there will be too many people that you don't get a chance to talk to! Occasionally in quieter periods of the year we may have a much smaller group, which means deeper conversations
