Walk Leader - Kat H.
Kat is a qualified Lowland Leader & she’s also qualified in First Aid for Mental Health & Outdoor First Aid – so you know she’ll keep you safe and make your Wellness Walk a safe and supportive space.
Kat tells us it’s really hard to choose just one favourite local walk (she is based in a stunning area) but Muncaster Fell holds a special place in my heart. It’s a small walk with big views, and a trig point! If you tie it in with a walk along the coast to Ravenglass you get to walk on fell side, through woodlands and along the coast. Particularly beautiful when the bluebells are flowering.
Kat’s all time favourite walk would have to be doing half the Tour du Mont Blanc in the Alps. She says “although I found it challenging at times, it was an incredible experience that will stay with me forever”.
Kat’s top tip resonates with us;
“don’t stress about your pace/speed as long as you’re moving forward, even if just tiny steps with regular stops, you’re doing just fine. That applies metaphorically too! “
Kat is based in Cumbria.

Informed Consent - we want you to know what risk is involved
While we take every precaution to ensure your safety on our walks (physically, psychologically and emotionally), all outdoor activities involve an inherent and unavoidable risk of an accident occurring that could lead to personal injury. All of our Walk Leaders are qualified in First Aid and carry emergency equipment to deal with emergencies. Walk Leaders are also trained to dynamically alter the route or plan for the day based on numerous potential factors - any decision to do so is fully authorised and expected by Wellness Walks. All participants should take an active role in minimising risks - so if you have a concern please speak up, if you feel unwell or unable to continue tell the leader.
Lowland Walks
These walks will follow paths, trails and lanes that are clearly visible on both the ground and the map (with the exception of very minor alterations). The risk on these walks is low - but traffic, waterways and other hazards may still be encountered.
Participants are required to read the walk description and kit list and may not be allowed to take part on the walk if they do not have suitable clothing or footwear.
