What to expect

The walk sets off from Reeth in the early evening, following quiet tracks and fields as it gets dark. We'll keep a steady pace, with a few stops along the way to let our eyes adjust and check the sky. If it's clear, there's a good chance of seeing stars, constellations, and possibly the Milky Way. If not, it's still a good evening walk in a quiet, open landscape.

Bring warm layers, a torch (preferably with a red light), and expect some uneven ground underfoot. These guided night hikes will cover rough and uneven terrain, including stiles, roads, paths, tracks, fields, hills, and moorlands, with several inclines and reduced visibility. Weather conditions can be challenging, so please be prepared.

If cloud cover blocks the night sky, the route will focus on the best night walking experience, exploring varied terrain, historic sites, points of interest, and the chance to spot nocturnal wildlife. Walking after dark requires extra care due to limited visibility and cooler temperatures.
