Summer evenings by the fire... absolute bliss. 🧡🔥

Another brilliant Paddle & Pizza evening! A beautiful paddle followed by pizzas, homemade brownies and plenty of laughs around the fire.

A huge well done to everyone who paddled for the first time tonight – from learning the strokes to standing up, you all smashed it! 👏🏄

We’ve got more dates coming up, so don’t miss out and come and join us!

I think these photos sum up mountain walking perfectly... wet, cloudy and absolutely no visibility! 🌧️⛰️

Isn’t that all part of why we love the fells? Every day is different, and yesterday was definitely one of those character-building adventures.

Despite the weather, there were plenty of laughs, smiles and another awesome day on the mountains.

Thanks @kerry.hikes for guiding

It feels like it’s been a while since we’ve had a “normal” Friday walk... but today was the day! 🥾

Perfect walking weather too, not too warm, with a lovely breeze as we explored the beautiful Nidderdale countryside.

Can we all just take a moment to remember Summer Solstice Sunrise from two weeks ago?

Is this possibly the best one I’ve seen? 🌅

#getoutside #YTO #sunrise #helvellyn

Another awesome evening on the water! 🌊

Loved introducing complete beginners to paddle boarding, alongside a few returning paddlers too.

A bit of wind to keep us working, then a lovely
calm finish with hot chocolate and biscuits. ☕🍪

Lots more evening and weekend sessions are on the website – come and join us!

I do love a walk in the woods! 🧡

Even better when it’s one of our Wednesday evening walks. Beautiful views, a chiffchaff singing, and the trails almost completely to ourselves.

A massive well done to our YTO leader Kerry, who has just completed the North Wales Path! 👏🥾

Starting in Bangor and finishing in Prestatyn, Kerry covered an incredible 68 miles over four days (including a few extra miles from some detours!).

The route took in some stunning highlights including Aber Falls, Conwy, The Great Orme, Colwyn Bay and Rhyl, with plenty of wild ponies spotted around Tal Y Fan too. 🐴

Originally planned as a three-day challenge, the extreme heat reaching 36°C meant making the sensible decision to spread it over four days. A great reminder that adapting to the conditions is all part of good mountain judgement.

From waterfalls and woodlands to mountains and coastal views, it sounds like an unforgettable adventure. Fantastic effort, Kerry! 👏🧡

A beautiful evening on the water!

Tonight’s Bring Your Own Board session covered a lovely 5km, where we learnt a new paddle stroke and enjoyed spotting plenty of wildlife along the way. The highlight had to be the heron, who put on quite the show for us!

We’ve got another Bring Your Own Board session this Saturday with a few places still available. Come and join us for a relaxed paddle, great company, and time out on the water.

Starting in Reeth, we made our way to Hawes, taking in the stunning Aysgarth Falls and Askrigg before a well-earned overnight stay at Hawes @yhaofficial . After a cool shower, good food and a proper night’s sleep, it was back out for day two over Great Shunner Fell, through Thwaite, Keld, past Crackpot Hall and finishing via Gunnerside.

The Herriot Way showcases some of the very best of the @yorkshiredales , with waterfalls, rivers, rolling hills, remote moorland and picturesque villages around every corner. It truly is a spectacular route.

I am so incredibly proud of every single one of you. There were moments where comfort zones were well and truly left behind, and you had to dig deep. That’s exactly what a challenge is all about… and every one of you did it.

A massive congratulations to you all. Enjoy the aches, wear them with pride - you’ve earned every single one! 👏🧡

A really big thank you to @becky_harpur @abiigaillouise @outdoors_stu and @gemmalouloves for guiding, support stops and amazing teamwork!

A Saturday spent on the water! ☀️🌊

Two beginner paddle boarding sessions today, with lots of people taking to the water for the very first time and others returning to build on their skills.

We covered standing up with confidence, efficient paddle strokes, and enjoying the calm of being out on the water.

An awesome day with a brilliant group of people. Thanks everyone for joining us – weekends like this are what it’s all about! 🧡

The smile says it all… I absolutely love this weather, and tonight was made for being on the water. ☀️

Our progressive paddle session had a little extra challenge with the breeze picking up, so we definitely worked hard! We focused on a new paddle stroke, practised hinging from the hips to improve efficiency and power, and finished the evening with refreshing lemon water and, of course, a well-earned biscuit.

Whether you’re completely new to paddle boarding or looking to build your skills, we’ve got sessions running right through until Bonfire Night.

Come and join us on the water – we’d love to paddle with you!

A huge good luck to Mick and Kath, who set off yesterday to take on the iconic Pennine Way!🥾

Wishing you both perfect trail conditions, plenty of laughs, and memories that will last a lifetime.

The Pennine Way will always be one of my favourite long-distance trails. Once you’ve experienced it, it really does stay with you.

Good luck both... enjoy every step! 🙌⛰️

A lovely private paddle boarding session this evening with the team from @lynnes_beauty . 🌊

The ladies enjoyed learning new skills, from standing up confidently on the board to paddling more efficiently, all while soaking up a beautiful evening on the water.

To finish, we gathered around the fire for pizza and homemade brownies – the perfect way to end a fantastic session. 🔥🍕🍫

From sunrise to sunset, our Summer Solstice adventures continued with an evening on the @northyorkmoors . 🌅

After a walk around Captain Cook’s Monument, we made our way up Roseberry Topping to watch the sun set and what a treat it was.

The evening was made even more special with sightings of owls, bats, hares and even a golden eagle. 🦉🦇🐇🦅

There really is something magical about sitting on a hilltop, soaking up the peace and watching the day come to an end. 🧡⛰️

Thank you @kerry.hikes for guiding, an incredible evening.

Once in a lifetime 🌅

Summer Solstice sunrise on Helvellyn is one of the most magical experiences you can have.

We set off in the darkness, watching dawn slowly break over a quiet and peaceful trail. Reaching the summit just before sunrise, we got comfy and watched the sun appear over the horizon before enjoying a beautiful descent with the fells almost entirely to ourselves.

These moments are so special – a chance to slow down, take it all in, and feel a real sense of calm and perspective.

It was an incredible morning to share with you all, and one that will stay in the memory for a lifetime.

Thank you @becky_harpur for co leading, we had quite the morning!

Incredible views, glorious sunshine, and the fells looking their absolute best. I’ve loved guiding this route today in the Lake District.

📍Crinkle Crags, Bow Fell, Esk Pike and Rossett Pike - 14 miles and 4000ft ascent

A huge well done to everyone who joined us – it’s a big day out and you all smashed it! 👏

A MASSIVE congratulations to our amazing @lindseycollinscoach ! 🎉👏

Lindsey has just completed the Montane Summer Spine Race and finished as 𝟑𝐫𝐝 𝐋𝐚𝐝𝐲!🏆

This is one of the toughest endurance challenges in the UK, covering around 𝟐𝟔𝟖 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 (𝟒𝟑𝟏𝐤𝐦) along the Pennine Way with approximately 𝟑𝟕,𝟎𝟎𝟎𝐟𝐭 (𝟏𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎𝐦) 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭. Lindsey crossed the finish line in an incredible 𝟏𝟏𝟗 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬, 𝟐𝟏 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟒𝟔 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐬💪🔥

This achievement is the culmination of months and years of dedication, training, resilience and hard work. To take on a challenge of this magnitude is remarkable and is something truly special.

You never know what you’re capable of until you try.

We’re incredibly proud of you Lindsey – enjoy every moment, you’ve earned it! 🧡

#spinerace #montane

What fun we had this evening! 🌊

We started off with a bit of a blustery breeze, but before long the skies turned blue and the water became wonderfully calm and peaceful.

Tonight’s beginners learnt the essentials, standing up, turning their boards and self-rescues 👏

We also enjoyed a refreshing dip, with a couple of people staying in for a proper swim afterwards!

And of course, no YTO paddle session would be complete without the biscuit tin making an appearance at the finish 🍪😋

Rachel Hewson - T

Nearly two years since I first stumbled across Yorkie Talkies Outdoors and it still blows me away what I've been fortunate enough to experience.
The most beautiful walks, from the Lakes to the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales to the North York Moors. Each walk led by a member of the fantastic YTO team - whose knowledge, skills and training are more than worth the walk fee.
I have also been safely supported through some incredible walking challenges (during which the organisation and level of care was second to none), and tried paddleboarding too!
You might hear it a lot but take it from this awkward introvert - definitely don't let the nerves hold you back. This is a wonderful community of people.
YTO has improved my fitness, helped build my confidence, enabled me to achieve goals and heights (literally!) I would never have thought possible and the boost to my mental health has been immense. It has honestly been life-changing.
Thank you.
