Sunday was spent in the beautiful countryside around Gargrave, Coniston Cold and East Marton.

We walked alongside canals and rivers, through woodland and meadows, saw the high fells on the horizon, stunning manor houses and meandered along pretty lanes.

Winter light, dark clouds which stayed in the distance and tiny specks of spring.

📍Gargrave

11 miles and 1000ft of ascent

Second Hill Skills & Navigation Course of 2026 ✔️ and what an AWESOME day!

We kicked things off at the @lioninnblakey with coffee & pastries ☕🥐 talking kit, emergency procedures and getting stuck into maps – route plotting, symbols and all the good stuff.

Then it was outdoors in perfect foggy conditions for an orientation game before heading off on a 7-mile nav route with @ordnancesurvey maps 🗺️
Everyone took turns leading and relocating, with contour work, pacing and loads of hands-on practice along the way.

So much learning packed into one day and honestly… everyone did brilliantly 👏

Thank you to @kerry.hikes for hosting this course

If you’ve ever wanted to feel more confident with a map in the hills, this is the place to start 🧡

A Friday walk is the best start to the weekend.
Grey skies, a bit of drizzle, slopping through the mud, a full “TED Talk” by myself and a sarnie eaten in a church doorway 🥪🌧️

Rain or shine, it’s always worth getting out there.
Absolutely love the outdoors 🧡

📍Nether Poppleton and Moor Monkton - 10 miles and not a hill in sight

On Sunday we headed up to the @northyorkmoors for our monthly trail run.

It was brilliant to have Judith along for her very first trail run too — big well done, you smashed it 👏

Thank you @lindseycollinscoach for leading

Our Sunday walk was at Dalby Forest, the Bridestones and Crosscliff Wood.

Mist and drizzle made for an atmospheric walk amongst the clouds.

Still, the colours were beautiful, the forest looked dramatic, the lichen was luminous and we had a snack stop amongst the trees.

A big thanks to a lovely group who embraced the conditions.

The Esk Valley, Stainsacre Beck, Hawsker and then back along the Cleveland Way past the fog horn, Saltwick Nab and the Abbey.

The sea air was refreshing, the mud was not as bad as predicted and the weather was relatively kind. A very lovely day out on the beautiful Yorkshire coast.

This was one of our shorter Friday walks, starting at 10am and finishing by lunchtime.

Today was our walk at Aysgarth Falls. I had carried out many checks in the lead-up to today — the sunshine was there, the clouds were lifting, and it wasn’t even that cold.

Sadly, the fields were like an ice rink, so I made the decision to turn us around.

My role is so much more than simply taking people on a walk. There is a lot that goes into the planning of every event, and safety will always be my top priority. I will never hesitate to make a call when conditions aren’t right.

I’d like to thank everyone for being so understanding, and we look forward to welcoming you to a Yorkie Talkies Outdoors event again very soon. 🧡🥾

Happy New Year from the dunes of Norfolk 🌊

I’ve been lucky enough to be out since sunrise, breathing in the sea air and starting the year exactly where I’m happiest.🫶

Whatever your plans are today, take a moment to pause, reflect, and if you can, step outside – even for a minute – and just take in the air.

If you have goals or aspirations for the year ahead, brilliant. And if you don’t, that’s just as okay – there’s no right or wrong way to begin a new year.

I wish you all the very best for what this year has to bring, and on behalf of myself and the YTO team, we hope we can be part of your journey and help you achieve whatever your goals may be 🧡🥾

🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS and much love from the YTO Team🎅🏼

To the regulars, the occasionals, the soon to join us and the lurkers…may the festive season bring you comfy boots, dry socks, a strong yet doable hill, a magnificent view, a bog less moor, the company of people you love and peace and quiet if you’d rather just be on your own with a mince pie and Bailey’s this year.

What People Are Saying

Home: Testimonials

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.
