Want to become more active but don’t know where to start?

Walk to Hike is a gentle 10-week progressive movement course for women who want to get outdoors, move more, build confidence and feel stronger one step at a time.

This is not about being the fittest, fastest or most outdoorsy person in the group. It’s about starting where you are and slowly building your stamina, strength and confidence in a supportive women-only space.

Each week has been intentionally designed to help you become a little more active, with gentle walks, manageable movement and encouragement along the way. By the end of the course, we’ll be working towards a final group hike together.

You don’t need to be fit to start.

You just need to start.

What to expect

Across the 10 weeks, we’ll focus on:

Building confidence with walking

Improving stamina gradually

Getting outdoors for your wellbeing

Gentle movement in a supportive space

Meeting other local women

Working towards a final group hike

Creating a regular habit of movement

The sessions will be relaxed, welcoming and beginner-friendly.
