Join YRP Yorkshire and North East for a stunning circular walk in the beautiful Knaresborough area. This is a fantastic opportunity to network with fellow professionals while enjoying the picturesque scenery of North Yorkshire.

The walk will be approximately 9 kilometres (about 3-4 hours of walking) and will follow the Knaresborough circular route, taking in spectacular views of the viaduct and the River Nidd. Following the walk, we'll head to a local pub for a well-deserved cool-down drink and some more networking.

Please note: Spaces are limited for this event. The deadline to register is Thursday, August 21, 2025 at 11:59 PM.

Important Information About the Walk

• Date: Saturday, August 23, 2025

• Time: 11:00 AM

• Meeting Point: We will meet at 11:00 AM on the platform of Knaresborough Station. The walk will start shortly after.

• Walk Details: The walk is a physically strenuous activity and even in the UK, it carries some risk. Please ensure you are physically fit enough for a walk of this length. The route will generally be on good footpaths but will include some inclines.

How to Prepare

To ensure you're prepared for the walk, please consider the following:

Clothing:

• Sturdy footwear: Wear sturdy boots or comfortable trainers that you don't mind getting muddy.

• Waterproofs: A waterproof jacket is essential, and waterproof trousers are also highly recommended.

• Walking trousers: Please avoid wearing jeans or other heavy fabrics, as these can be uncomfortable when wet and take a long time to dry.

• Layers: Pack plenty of layers, such as fleeces. The weather can change quickly in North Yorkshire, and it's better to have an extra layer than be cold!

Food and Water:

• Water: Bring at least 2 litres of water to stay hydrated during the walk.

• Food: Please pack enough food for a day's walking, including lunch and some extra snacks, as there may not be anywhere to buy food along the route.

Other:

• Sunscreen: Sunscreen is strongly recommended, even on cloudy days.
