The Freshwalks programme is warming up as we head deeper into Autumn 🍂 Dig out those extra layers, fill a flask with your favourite hot tipple and come, step out with us! We kick off November with a classic moorland hike around Marsden, West Yorkshire, perfectly located for both Manchester and Leeds business communities to make new connections. The following week we retreat into the Cheshire woodland sanctuary of Alderley Edge (Walks for Women) and Delamere Forest with Haines Watts and Bathgate Business Finance for our Merseyside business community. Our second Sunrise Hike of the season explores the Hope Valley. Plus, our ever-popular City Express format is back with pro-manchester in Manchester city centre. But arguably, we've saved the best for last with our epic Three Shires Adventure from Macclesfield Forest to the outskirts of Leek. A route that includes peaks, plunge pools, chasms, forest and much more. Hopefully, we'll see you in the hills.
About us
Freshwalks creates closer business connections and promotes wellbeing to boost resilience, inspire creative thinking and bring balance to busy working lives. Rambles & Hikes - private & netwalking events We offer walks of all grades - from gentle 5km country park rambles and city-centre guided tours through to long coastal walks and challenging 30km hikes across moorland and hills. Though we offer membership options for individuals and businesses, everyone is welcome to simply register for any walk and join our netwalking events on an ad-hoc basis. Introducing Walkshops Our walking workshops build upon our successful Rambles & Hikes formula, blending expert facilitation and coaching to help nurture and strengthen both individuals and teams. Working alongside a team of specialist associates we’ve devised modular options to address typical organisational challenges. Modules can be adapted or we can design fresh content to suit specific training and development objectives. Walkshops are also super flexible. They can be delivered entirely ‘on the move’ or within a hybrid format, seamlessly combining indoors and outdoors elements. They can be standalone half or full day events, a complementary series or even delivered as part of a working retreat or conference. We promise to make every learning experience enjoyable, memorable and highly effective.

When there's fog, we go mono 😉 Despite the haze on last week's sunrise walk, the rich Autumnal colours burned through for a gorgeous wander up from Edale to Kinder. Great conversation, great new connections, indeed a great start to the day. Maybe we'll see you on our upcoming sunrise walks 📍22nd Nov - Hope Valley 9km 📍10th Jan - Macclesfield Forest 8km Photos courtesy of Alastair Jones, Chris Marsh and Michelle Pratt

🥾 ⛰️ Join Women in Property North West for our next Freshwalks of Disley & Lyme Park on Friday 15th November at 9am - 1pm. Whether you want to join friends and colleagues for the lunch afterwards or just do the #walk - we have you covered! This circular parkland walking route starts and finishes in #Disley which lies in the northeast corner of Cheshire, between the Cheshire Plains and the lower slopes of the Pennines and the Peak District. 🥾 ⛰️ You will leave Disley station, enter Lyme Park and climb up towards The Cage, an iconic former hunting lodge which dates back to 1580. This lofty perspective affords tremendous panoramic views across South #Manchester and back towards the city. We'll then drop into the Park for quick refreshments and a toilet stop before heading further uphill along the Gritstone Trail to the highest point of the route, close to Bow Stones. Thereafter, it's a gentle descent back towards Disley where we'll head to The Ram's Head next to the station for optional food and refreshments. 📍 Meet Up: Outside Disley Station ⛰️ Route: Disley - The Cage - Lyme Park - Knightslow Wood - Bow Stones - Gritstone Trail - Disley 🟡 Grade: Medium 🍃 Distance: 10km Max elevation: 402m Total ascent: 344m #Members and non-members of all genders are welcome to attend via the Women in Property #app or our website. TO BOOK for the Walk only – https://lnkd.in/e6RvGDYN Huge thank you to our annual branch sponsors: Harley Haddow and Cuckoo Design #womeninproperty #wipnw24 #netwalking | Nicola Rudman | Michael Di Paola

📢 Good news folks - City Express is back - we're squeezing one more 'netwalking' opportunity in for 2024 in collaboration with the master of all route planning - Michael Di Paola of Freshwalks. Not quite Lake Como, but the Bridgewater Canal & Salford Trail is as close as we're getting 😂 It's the perfect excuse to get away from the desk and out in the fresh air ,stretch your legs and have a good old natter with some new connections. You can either get your 5(km) a day in and then head back to the office, or there is an optional shared lunch at the end. Places are limited. Who's in? 🚶🏾♀️🚶🏻🚶🏿♀️🌲☀️ https://lnkd.in/eWGc2KQN

Long overdue but we're heading back to Delamere Forest with Freshwalks next month for the final event of the year in our vibrant Merseyside business community series (kindly sponsored by Haines Watts Bathgate Business Finance). Though we're welcoming a large contingent from Merseyside, there's also a Manchester crew heading down to Cheshire and I'm also hoping a few locals from the Chester area might yet get involved. Delamere really is the perfect setting for an Autumn walk, offering natural woodland protection against the elements but with a halfway cafe stop and pub to finish with, there'll be plenty of social wraparound too. Planning to head down myself and look forward to meeting some of you there with 🍀 MURPH 🍀 Huge thanks to Paul Trickett Mike Forshaw Frank Murphy for ongoing support of this successful netwalking collaboration.

💚💚💚 #WorldMentalHealthDay Thank you Julie Pelzer-Vaughan (she/her) 🙏
As most of you are aware today is World Mental Health Day and as I work in this field, every day is a Mental Health Day! There are many ways to bring balance, calm and clarity to your mental wellness. Examples are: talking to a trusted friend, seeing a trained therapist or coach, music, dancing, being out in nature, long soak in the bath, cold water dipping, reading, watching a movie, meditation etc. Self care is key to your health, happiness and wellbeing This is obviously very important to me not only professionally but personally too. For my own mental health and wellness I go out in nature on regular walks & hikes One of the best decisions I made was joining Freshwalks I attend regular monthly walks to different places with incredible people. This has now become one of my non-negotiables for my health and wellbeing. And one I can highly recommend. Michael Di Paola the founder of Freshwalks puts together the most amazing hiking trips. Recently back from an incredible trip to Lake Como & Mont Generoso. Michael’s attention to detail is truly astounding. The hard work that goes into these trips, catering to all needs makes for an incredible hiking and dining experience. Grateful to Michael in not only creating Freshwalks but I’ve made trusted lifelong friends too I look forward to seeing some of you on a hill sometime very soon! #worldmentalhealthday #mentalwellness #nature
