Sunday 25th May 10-2pm in Wellington. The first of our Wellness Walks - Photography, Journaling & Absorbing Nature.
The Walk: Our adventure starts at 10am in Rockwell Green, we will meet outside the post office. From there we will wander through wide open fields with beautiful views of the old water towers, Wellington monument and Tonedale mill from afar.
We will walk between ancient oak trees, down winding paths that meet waterways with quaint little metal bridges.
We will meet an abundance of wildlife such as the resident heron, swans, ducks, woodpeckers, kingfishers and more.
We will navigate over stepping stones and skinny weirs to get to the other side of the water ways. Following tracks made by adventurers before us, we’ll meander through meadows, then under a little brick bridge with a dedicated path alongside the water where we can practice our echoes and feel like kids again.
Then over the even littler brick archway bridge that’s almost hidden in the undergrowth, leading us to a big open field with a swimming area and a view of one side of the massive derelict mill at Tonedale.
The beauty of this walk cannot be underestimated. The feeling it gives is wonderful.
We can sit by lake and take in the water and wildlife, we can also break at the swimming area for those brave enough to try the water or we can sit and enjoy the view (and hopefully nice weather!)
Moving on we will explore around the edges of the impressive, and did I mention HUGE derelict mill?
Finally our end point (before walking back) is Braziers Café, situated in part of the mill that’s been renovated, for deliciously crafted coffee - I like mine sweet and hot - the coffee is roasted and ground in-house.
There’s incredible food on the menu, their bread and award winning craft beer is made on site too.
Whilst at Braziers we can talk about our walk, share photos and our written work, if we want to, or simply just enjoy our midway break.
Once suitably satiated, we can head back at a leisurely, lunch digesting pace.
Ending our adventure back at the post office for around 2pm.
The direct walk is a straight 45 minutes with no breaks at a leisurely pace. However, we will wander and stop to take photos and/or journal, at least twice on the first part of the walk.
Photography tuition will be given where needed for the subjects on route (Landscape, Wildlife, and Water)
Themes on exploring creative writing will also be provided to promote mindfulness as we walk and make the journey as immersive as possible.
The Fee:
The guided walk is £45per person and includes a branded journal and pen. Creative writing prompts will be included in the journal.
To make things easier and to allow flexible ordering, please prepare to pay for your order at Braziers separately to the workshop fee.
Who is this for?
People who want to reconnect with nature with mindfulness & creativity. For those who want to be part of a safe space designed for introverted photographers who like to spend time with similar personalities.
