Thanks to everyone that joined our walk at the weekend.
It was a small group due to illness and the expected rainy weather (it turned out to be really nice🙏). It was great being a small group as you properly get to chat to everyone and have a connection and it was a really fun day!
Thanks to also for the photos 📸 and everyone who came 🙏
Should we stick to 1 walk per year or do more? Let us know because we do them for you!

A few people have asked if we’re doing our Christmas walk this year… the question is do you want us to do one?
We’ve done one for the last few Christmases but we’ve been thinking of taking a year off to give everyone a break… but then there’s a lot of sad news out there at the moment that we can’t decide whether people need it more than ever or if you want a year off?

Happy International Womens Day 🙏 thank you to all the amazing women making an impact in this world ❤️ to all the women running community groups and working tirelessly behind the scenes to get more women together outdoors. We get little or no money for it so it’s all for our passion and enthusiasm for the cause and community.
To the women that have supported Yugen over the years we are ever grateful 🙏 Yugen was founded by a woman (me, Grace) but it wouldn’t have been possible without the women that inspired her along the way to see that if they could start a business or manage a company/part of it then so could she!
Heres to all the women doing big or small things… whether you’re thriving or just surviving we salute you 🫶

MEET-UP ALERT NOT TO BE MISSED 🚨🚨🚨support our right to roam! Sunday March 5th
Kinder Scout Mass Hike… with Trash Free Trails] standing in solidarity and raising awareness for .2roam and .uk
You’ve probably seen the craziness recently with the Right to Roam... Where one rich landowner has won his case to have access to wild camping at Dartmoor taken away from us… we are appalled… we are nature, this is our right… our right to roam. Visit .2roam for more detailed info. Show up and support the cause 🙏
Come and join us for a mass hike and show your support for our community and the movement that is pushing for change to give us the right to access more than just 8% of our countryside. Who’s with us?
We’ll be sharing tips and tools on how to be considerate and leave no trace. How we think that Trash Free Trails] could be the answer to educating people and providing volunteers to help keep our trails clean. It’s not about working against us and taking away our rights. It’s about working with us, opening up the outdoors to everyone and in turn making it a happier and more inclusive country where people feel connected and care about the nature around us.
We’re encouraging public transport use and planned the walk around the train times at Edale.!Please share and tag a friend and let us know if you’re coming! ✌️ Ticket link in bio!
