About this event
We are heading to Ilkley Moor this December for our traditional end of year Wellness Walk, followed by drinks in Ilkley town centre.
This is a lovely day to end the week on a (literal) high, whilst taking time to reflect on the year that has passed, and connect with other like minds.
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 Wellness Walk 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
We'll meet, ready to walk, at 1230 in the Darwin Gardens car park. We'll head straight up on to the moor, passing White Wells, and head up to the Twelve Apostles stone circle, before looping around the moor and returning to the car park as dusk starts to fall.
As the light fades, we will then head into Ilkley for festive drinks in a warm and cosy pub (first drink is on us!)
This event will be guided by Ant at the Mountain Boardroom.

Your guide
Ant is a qualified Mountain Leader, strategist, facilitator and business coach, offering guided adventures through Mountain Boardroom, to get you out of the office and into the outdoors, giving time and space to spark extraordinary thinking in extraordinary landscapes.
A passionate believer in the power of connection in business and professional life, you'll often find him talking excitedly about the outdoors, connecting others and working out how to get a good nature metaphor into the conversation.
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 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. Mountain Boardroom is fully insured to run outdoor events.
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!
We have a maximum of 15 people on each walk. 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 smaller group, which means deeper conversations.
