An active retreat – three day-long walks, each including one of the Yorkshire 3 Peaks will provide you space and time to reflect with God. Connect with the Creator through His creation and develop your ability to hear God to speak into your life through your everyday experiences. Good hill-walking fitness is needed for this retreat.

An active retreat – three day-long walks, each including one of the Yorkshire 3 Peaks will provide you space and time to reflect with God.
Connect with the Creator through His creation: The Ingleborough walk is an 8.5 mile loop with 600m of ascent, and includes a visit to Gaping Gill. The Whernside walk is a 7.8 miles loop with 500m of ascent, and which enjoys beautiful views of the Ribblehead viaduct. The Pen y Ghent walk is another 8.5 mile loop with 550m of ascent, and includes Hull Pot along the way. Each of the walks starts about an hour’s journey from Scargill and we will share lifts to get there.
All walks are optional, but to get the most out of this this week, we anticipate that they will be most enjoyed by those who have already built up a good level of hill-walking fitness prior to the retreat.
Hear God’s voice: come away and develop your ability to hear God to speak into your life through your everyday experiences. We will take time out on our walks to reflect on our environment and our experiences.
