Her Outdoors Weekly 2024

Well done to all 222 women and girls who took part in the Her Outdoors Week last week. We were delighted to see so many participating in new and some old activities. We ran 14 events in total which included Cycling, Orienteering, Beach Games, Yoga & Dip, Sea Swimming, Canoeing, Activator Pole Walking, Petanque and Archery. This has been a fantastic week of events and many thanks to all the local clubs who took the opportunity to embrace Her Outdoor Week and provide sporting activities to Women and Girls of all ages. We were also delighted the sun came out and contributed to a very successful week of events. Some of the feedback from participants and parents:

Yoga & Dip – ‘This was fantastic event and a great way to come together and meet women to exercise in the outdoors, I’m looking forward to the next one already.’

Cycle Cross – ‘We traveled from outside the county as my daughter has always wanted to try Cycle Cross. She absolutely loved it and we were delighted we made the journey.’

Inclusive Canoeing – ‘Thank you for the opportunity for my daughter to take part in this wonderful canoeing event. The instructors were just amazing and we could hear the laughter and enjoyment from the girls the minute they went into the water.’
