Women’s Wilderness Adventures – 2026
Step away from the everyday and step into the wild.
Women’s Wilderness Adventures are two-day weekends for women who want to connect, challenge
themselves, and recharge in nature.

Small, intimate, and supportive, these weekends combine
adventure, skill-building, and reflection in a safe, empowering environment.

Whether new to the outdoors or a seasoned explorer, these weekends leave participants refreshed,
confident, and inspired — with new skills, new friendships, and memories that last.

What Happens on a Weekends
Over two transformative days on the River Wye, participants experience:

Paddleboarding & river adventures – navigate the river, feel the flow beneath the board, and enjoy the calm of nature from the water.

Bushcraft & fire skills – build fires, learn knife skills and learn survival techniques that build confidence and self-reliance.

Campfire cooking & shared meals – gather around the fire for nourishing outdoor meals and
laughter with new friends.

Guided mindfulness & reflection – pause, breathe, and connect through sharing circles and
reflective exercises.

Optional wild swims & river dips – refresh body and mind in invigorating water
Evening campfire stories & connection – unwind under the stars, share stories, and feel the
warmth of community.

All activities are guided by experienced female instructors, including Rose, Louise Lupo (RAF
instructor), and Annabel (mountaineer & athlete).

Together they create a space where women can
learn, explore, and grow safely while having fun and laughter along the way.

What Participants Say
“A transformative experience — I left feeling empowered and calm at the same time.” – Sarah,
2025
“The perfect mix of adventure, learning, and connection with amazing women.” – Emma, 2025
“I didn’t know I could do half the things I learned here! Can’t wait to come back.” – Jade, 2025 

“I’ve spent the last three years with Rose as part of Wye Knot Community’s Women’s Wilderness Empowerment, taking part in weekends and retreats around the world. I can honestly say these experiences have changed my life.

I used to focus on how I looked—on appearances and perfection. Now I focus on what’s inside.

How I feel.

How strong I am.

And what I’m capable of.

I’ve learned that I can step into the outdoors, survive, and thrive. I now travel on my own—something I never believed I could do.

Thank you, Wye Knot Community, for giving me the courage and strength to step into the world with confidence. I feel empowered, capable, and proud to call myself a powerful woman.”

Location
Hancock Meadow Farm, Hereford, HR2 6NN
Set on a small family-run farm, all food is raised and grazed on-site, offering a true taste of
Herefordshire while supporting local businesses. The setting provides a peaceful, authentic
countryside experience surrounded by rolling fields and the gentle sounds of nature.
Accommodation is in pre-pitched bell tents, with three people per tent. For those who prefer a solo
tent, this can be arranged upon request.
Common Questions
What should I bring?
A full kit list will be sent after booking, including everything needed for the weekend.
Is food and drink provided?
Yes, all meals and refreshments are included.
Do I need my own wetsuit?
If you have one, please bring it along. Wetsuits are also available for hire.
How long are we on the river for?
The paddleboarding journey is flexible around 5 hours. Participants can sit, kneel, or stand — it’s entirely personal
choice. No one is required to do any activity they’re uncomfortable with.
What happens if there’s a weather warning?
Safety is always the top priority. All activities continue, but paddleboarding may move from the river to
a nearby lake if conditions require.
Step into the wild. Step into strength.
