Conscience Coaching and Consulting CIC

Through the offer of the opportunity to take the coaching and consulting outdoors, Conscience harnesses the therapeutic power of nature to support people along their own journeys of personal and professional development and self-discovery.

Built on a firm foundation of mutual trust, the Conscience approach to coaching and consulting explores what matters to individuals, groups and teams and what success looks and feels like. It unlocks untapped potential and creates the conditions needed for continuous learning and growth.

Category 1/2 Walk – Easy/Moderate. A selection of trial and path that involves some ascent and descent. Total distance is 11km (6miles). Total elevation gain is 385m. Set off is 10am. Starting and finishing at&nbsp;Simonside&nbsp;Car&nbsp;Park,&nbsp;this&nbsp;is an out and back walk, with the back&nbsp;taking in Raven Heugh and&nbsp;Tosson&nbsp;Hill.&nbsp; On the way back, as we complete the circular route, we will visit Simonside and Dove Crag.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is a beautiful area of&nbsp;the Northumberland&nbsp;National Park&nbsp;with well-trodden&nbsp;paths -&nbsp;an&nbsp;ideal place for reflection.&nbsp;&nbsp;The walk will take us from&nbsp;Simonside&nbsp;Car&nbsp;Park, and&nbsp;heading in&nbsp;an anticlockwise direction, the&nbsp;gradual steep&nbsp;path will take us&nbsp;to Criss Cross rock and onto Raven’s Heugh and out to&nbsp;Tosson&nbsp;Hill. The return from&nbsp;Tosson&nbsp;Hill takes us to Simonside – the highest point in the walk, with a slow descent to Dove Crag and&nbsp;back&nbsp;to Simonside car park.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the end of the walk, there&nbsp;are&nbsp;coffee&nbsp;shops&nbsp;in&nbsp;nearby Rothbury&nbsp;which serve&nbsp;food and drinks.&nbsp;&nbsp; Kit needed:<ul><li>Decent walking boots/shoes with firm soles and good grip</li><li>Comfortable walking trousers/shorts/leggings</li><li>Base layer</li><li>Jumper/fleece</li><li>Coat</li><li>Waterproofs</li><li>Hat</li><li>Gloves</li><li>Backpack to include:</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Water (1l-1.5l)</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Lunch</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Snacks</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Any medication</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Handwarmers (if needed)&nbsp;</li></ul> Cost of Event:The Wellbeing Walks are offered as free events, as the ability to pay should not be a barrier to access nature in support of your health and wellbeing.

Keswick Weekender&nbsp;Saturday 2nd&nbsp;to Sunday 3rd&nbsp;May 2026&nbsp;&nbsp;Introduction:&nbsp; Welcome everyone to the legendary Keswick Weekender!&nbsp;&nbsp;This Weekender&nbsp;has been designed based on feedback from&nbsp;previous events, my 10 years of experience of&nbsp;arranging these&nbsp;trips away&nbsp;and belief that the therapeutic power of the outdoors should be accessible to everyone.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accessibility to me means many things; from the cost&nbsp;of the weekend&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;feeling that you belong. From transportation to&nbsp;challenging&nbsp;any&nbsp;self-doubt.&nbsp;From trying new experiences to having someone who&nbsp;can actively listen without judgement to any concerns you may have.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Seeing the smiles on faces,&nbsp;watching&nbsp;new friendships being&nbsp;formed,&nbsp;witnessing&nbsp;self-confidence growing and being part of an inclusive&nbsp;group that lifts&nbsp;each&nbsp;other up is so rewarding.&nbsp;It is this that&nbsp;makes&nbsp;the Weekenders so special.&nbsp;&nbsp;Below is an itinerary for the Weekender, which provides some details as to what to expect, what kit to bring,&nbsp;timings&nbsp;etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;See you in May!&nbsp;&nbsp;Angela&nbsp;&nbsp;Saturday&nbsp;2nd&nbsp;May 2026&nbsp;&nbsp;For those wishing to take part in Keswick Parkrun, meet at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dentonhouse-keswick.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: windowtext;">Denton House Hostel</a>&nbsp;car park by&nbsp;08:40&nbsp;at the latest&nbsp;and return to Denton House Hostel car park&nbsp;to meet the rest of the group.&nbsp;&nbsp;We will be setting off as a group at&nbsp;10:30.&nbsp;&nbsp;The entire day will be spent in and around Derwentwater, with all activities accessible by foot.&nbsp;&nbsp;There is a mix of wet, dry, individual, and team activities, all of which have been risk assessed and supported by qualified and experienced members of the group.&nbsp;&nbsp;Daytime&nbsp;Schedule:&nbsp;&nbsp;10:30-11:15&nbsp;&nbsp;Walk through Keswick Town Centre to&nbsp;Crow Park:&nbsp;We Are One&nbsp;&nbsp;11:15-12:30&nbsp;Walk along Derwentwater Shoreline to&nbsp;Surprise View&nbsp;
