MEET LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE
Adventure Solos' guided group walks are designed to help people in their 30s, 40s & 50s to meet like-minded people and make new friends.
They also perfect to get to know us if you're interested in our other solo-friendly skill, weekend and expedition events.
We set a fairly slow and steady pace for these hosted walks, making them social and inclusive.

POTTER TARN WALK & DIP
This walk and dip adventure at times follows parts of The Dales Way and The River Kent - with herons common.
We pass two different lakes in the hills; Potter Tarn and the picturesque Gurnal Dubs. The latter is our spot for a break and optional dip in the water.
We stop at a pub at the end for a drink and chat before completing the loop to Staveley.
The walk is not too far or steep; just over 6.1 miles (9.8km) and an ascent of around 200m (so a small/medium hill rather than a mountain to ascend or descend).
There's a train station nearby for anyone travelling by public transport.
The walk takes around 4.5 hours including a swim stop, plus around an hour in the pub at the end.
We walk at a steady pace for this hike; a low/moderate level of fitness will suffice. If you are entering the water, you should do so slowly, you mustn't stay in for long and you should have additional clothing and snacks to help you warm up afterwards.
Please note that any swimming is subject to conditions being deemed suitable by your Adventure Solos host & leader.

Tickets are available for £39.99 per person here.
