Walking

I offer a range of small group women only walks in the Malvern Hills, Worcestershire, Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Forest of Dean and Wales.  

I also deliver a range of 6-10 week walking programmes for women.  These are designed to either help improve your fitness and stamina, where we work towards a shared goal.  Sometimes it may be focused on a particular walking skill e.g. map reading and navigation, empowering you to plan and enjoy your own walks.  

We also take on challenges together.  So far we have completed the Malvern Hills End to End and the Worcestershire Way.  By the end of 2024 we would have completed the Cotswold Way and we’re looking forward to taking on the Gloucestershire Way and Wychavon Way in 2025.  

We often share walking holidays together and have so far visited Dartmoor and Wales together.  In 2025 I am offering a new Dorset, small group women only walking holiday and we will also be returning to Dartmoor in July 2025 (3 places left).   

Women love to join my guided walks because they want someone else to do all of the route planning and logistics for the day.  They love stopping and sharing views, stories and walking at a comfortable pace so that we can discover new places together.  

We love to share mindful moments on our walks, learn some fun facts along the way and best of all you’ll meet a great community of likeminded women who often become friends.  

walks 2024/2025

Whether you're looking to blow the cob webs away, improve your fitness or simply soak up those amazing views, then come and share a walk with other likeminded women in a small and supportive group.

There are usually at least two day walks (£17-£19) to choose from every month. These are usually in the Malvern Hills, Herefordshire or the Cotwolds.

I also offer pop up shorter walks linked to themes e.g. bluebells, foxgloves, Christmas or a sound baths.

Why not come and join me for my Christmas night hike on the Malvern Hills on Wednesday 18 December at 7pm. Or if you fancy a Christmas jumper, Christmas Eve, Merry Trigmas walk to the Worcestershire Beacon, it's always lovely to welcome new and returning faces.

FAQ's

It depends on what type of programme or session you are looking at.  I offer a broad range of activities which caters for the complete beginner up to more experienced and fitter individuals.  All classes and activities will be given a level type it’s suitable for, but if you’re not sure then please get in touch. 

I have a range of cycling programmes on offer from the complete beginner to those who would like to take on a 100km bike ride.  

For my zero to cycling hero programme it doesn’t matter what type of bike you have, in fact we would love it if you’ve just dusted off your bike and haven’t ridden it for years.  For the Sportdivas course you will need a hybrid with road tyres or a road bike. 

All of my guided walks are graded, as well as information about the distance.  My guided walks will vary from Easygoing to Moderate and Challenging or Strenuous.  Whilst the walks are graded, we never leave anyone behind and will walk at the pace of the slowest walker. 

For most of the online classes we use dumb bells or you can improvise with items you would most likely have at home.  Otherwise you can also just use your own body weight.  

 Otherwise if it is a special themed week you may need something specific which you will need to get hold of beforehand.  Sometimes I do pop up masterclasses/workshops where the equipment is provided and included in the cost. 

The face to face activities will vary in venue, especially the guided walks and the cycling programmes, as these tend to move around each week/month.  I often use Norton Parish Hall and my studio too which is based in Malvern.  All activities will give you details about the venue location first.

Yes absolutely.  Most of my clients come to my studio but the beauty of personal coaching is it’s tailored for you and that includes the venue, so if you’d like 1:1 coaching at your home then please get in touch.  

That’s fine, let’s chat first.  All of my clients are screened before you take part in an activity, this is so I can get some more information about any injuries or previous medical history so that I can advise you accordingly and offer you the right support.

My guided walks take place all year round, so I will always advise you on a kit list on what to bring for each walk.  

The cycling programmes don’t always need specialist equipment/clothing but if you’re not sure we will also teach you what is best to use.  

For online classes I always recommend loose fitting clothing and something you can easily move around in.
