Event Schedule – The Edale Skyline Challenge
Are you looking for a unique and impactful way to boost team morale, increase collaboration, and give back to the community? Then let Wellbeing Walks take you on a corporate charity challenge on the stunning Edale Skyline in the Peak District.
Beginning from the picturesque village of Hope, our journey along the Edale Skyline takes us immediately into the heart of the Peak District’s dramatic landscape. The initial stretch involves a steady climb up Win Hill, which offers the first of the panoramic views.
From the top, you’re rewarded with a breathtaking view of Ladybower Reservoir and the surrounding rolling hills. The path then continues, following ancient tracks and Roman roads, leading us across open moorland towards the wild and rugged Kinder Plateau. This section of the walk is a true testament to the beauty and challenge of the Dark Peak, as we navigate through gritstone formations and over the sometimes-boggy terrain, all while we have the great views of the Edale Valley below.
The Edale Skyline is a challenging but incredibly rewarding hike. The route is approximately 20-22 miles (32-35 km).
Elevation: You can expect a total ascent of between 1,100 to 1,250 meters (around 3,600 to 4,100 feet). This is a significant amount of climbing, with a mix of steady inclines and steeper sections.
For a guided group completing the challenge, the walk typically takes between 8 to 12 hours, including short breaks for rests, food, and enjoying the views. The exact time can vary depending on the group’s overall pace and weather conditions.
It’s a full-day adventure that requires a good level of fitness and stamina.
The Edale Skyline is more than just a hike; it’s a powerful team-building experience set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Peak District. Outside of the office, your team will conquer challenging terrain together, building trust and camaraderie that translates directly back to the workplace. Promote physical and mental health by encouraging your employees to embrace the outdoors, disconnect from screens, and reconnect with nature.
We handle all the logistics so you can focus on the experience. Our professional and friendly guides are experts in both the route and in group management. They’ll ensure a safe and enjoyable hike for everyone, regardless of their hiking experience, providing encouragement and sharing fascinating insights into the local landscape.
You can choose a charity of your choice to partner with and raise money through sponsorship or you can just complete it as a team challenge.
