Wye Knot Women's Wilderness Adventures 2026

Wild. Connected. In Demand.

WARNING: Our weekends are small, personal, and they sell out every year.

Are you ready to claim your space for an unforgettable adventure? For 2026, we’re keeping the magic, condensing the intensity, and offering more ways to connect with nature, yourself, and an inspiring community of women.

This is more than a break. It's a fundamental reset powered by expert female guides, fierce skill-building, and the nourishing landscape of the River Wye.

Why We’re Different

This isn’t about squeezing people onto a campsite. It’s about intimate, meaningful, life-changing adventure.

We keep group sizes small (max 10 women) so you get real guidance, real connection, and real moments that stay with you long after the weekend ends.

Your Expert Female Guides: The Wye Knot Difference

Led by a trio of certified, elite female outdoor leaders, you are guaranteed to be guided and supported by the best. Every weekend features at least two core coaches from this incredible team, ensuring unparalleled support, safety, and inspiration:

Rose Sales (Founder & Team Leader): The grounded visionary and qualified Forest School/Paddle Coach. Rose ensures a safe, connected, and deeply nourishing experience.
Louise Lupo (Senior Outdoor Instructor): The backbone of the team with 24 years of RAF Adventurous Training expertise. Lou brings fierce skill and the belief that you are capable of anything.
Annabel (Emerging Leader & Mountaineer): A former GB Athlete training for a 6,000m peak. Annabel brings the focus, adventure, and warmth needed to find your courage.

Public & Private Weekends

While our Women’s Wilderness Weekends are open to the public, we also offer private events tailored to the needs of welfare groups, corporations, and team-building sessions. These private weekends are designed to foster teamwork, resilience, and personal growth within your team, group, or organization.

Private weekends include:

Customised activities tailored to your group’s goals
Team-building challenges designed to build trust and communication
Focus on mental and physical wellness, leadership, and empowerment
Support and guidance from our expert outdoor leaders

Whether you’re a corporate team looking to bond, a welfare group seeking empowerment through nature, or a group of friends wanting a transformative weekend, we will create an experience that meets your specific needs.
