We’ll start with a relaxed group dinner on Friday, with a friendly icebreaker to settle in. Then we’ll have our challenge briefing from the guides and get our bags packed and ready for the big day.

Saturday is all about the Edale Skyline Challenge – a full-day hike across one of the Peak District’s most iconic ridgelines. You’ll move together as a team and support each other across the highs and lows. We’ll finish with a well-earned drink at pub before we unwind with fire pits and s’mores.

On Sunday, you can choose between a scenic hike through Winnats Pass or a calming stretch and mobility session to gently recover tired legs. We’ll wrap up with a cosy Sunday lunch at the Bulls Head in Castleton before heading home.

Accommodation

Our accommodation for the weekend is in the beautiful setting of Edale Gathering, a haven of calm and privacy, yet only a few hundred yards’ stroll to the pubs and cafes of Edale village.

The Gathering lodges are strung out along the wooded banks of Grindsbrook, the peaty stream which carries water from the moorland above. You look out from your veranda onto dry-stone walled sheep pasture, and beyond them the heather moorland and gritstone crags of Kinder Scout. This is walkers’ paradise with open access for miles around.

Our accommodation for the trip will be a mixture of Luxury Glamping Safari Tents (sleeps 5) and Premium Shooting Lodge (sleeps 10)

NOTE: There is limited car parking at this accommodation on a first come, first served basis but as always, we encourage you to car share where possible – we love our planet!
