About your guide:

Hi I'm Alice, qualified mountain leader and CEO of The Adventure Girls Club. I'm passionate about reconnecting women back nature through adventure and outdoor skills. I set up the club because I didn't feel like I belonged in the outdoor community and I wanted to create a safe space for women like me to head out and enjoy the outdoors in their own way. I love meeting all the lush people who come along to our events and it's best feeling seeing everyone come away feeling more connected to nature and making connections with other like-minded women too.

Transport:

This walk is only accessible by car. We will meet at Alfred's Tower Car Park. The car park is free.

Liftshare: It would be great to liftshare as much as possible, if you can offer someone a lift please either post in the Geneva app (for members) or in the Facebook group or WhatsApp group

What to bring:

• Hiking boots, or trainers (that you don't mind getting muddy)
• Snacks and/or packed dinner
• Bag to put water and snacks in
• Water
• Waterproofs and a warm layer depending on weather
• Small first aid kit with personal Medic*tion

Toilets:

There are no toilets on this hike so you will have to embrace what I like to call a 'wild wee'! Luckily, forest walks have plenty of hidden spots for this. If you need to go, just tell someone in the group and hang back for some privacy.

Safety:

I like to make these hikes as enjoyable as possible for everyone, so I keep a slow and steady pace. It's about taking in the views and being in nature, not about rushing to the finish line. Having said that, you are responsible for your own health and safety. If you are unsure as to whether you are fit to come on these hikes, please either consult your doctor or let me know your concerns.

I am a Qualified Mountain Leader and I am level 3 Outdoor First Aid trained so I will be on hand in case of an emergency.

Dogs:

Well behaved dogs are more than welcome on my hikes, however, there will be livestock around and potentially other dogs, so they will need to stay on a lead for parts of it.
