Standing on top of a wild moor in the middle of winter you'll feel very much alive.
Even more so when you look upwards to a huge sky, studded with stars, planets and constellations. If it's clear, you'll be able to see the Milky Way with the naked eye too.
This evening also coincides with the new moon making it a dark night. Excellent conditions for a spot of stargazing - if it's clear.
But this evening is so much more than this too. It's an opportunity to slow down, chill out and embrace the beautiful, stunning heavens above you.
We'll include a slow and gentle yoga session that will ground you to this earth. Followed by the most amazing night sky meditation to connect you to the heavens above.
Afterwards we'll head out on a night walk that'll engage all your senses to ramp up your WOW-factor. By the end of the evening you'll feel utterly amazing - and hopefully feel awe. An emotion even more beneficial than happiness.
But regardless of whether you see the stars or not, walking at night is an incredibly powerful way of reconnecting you to nature. Standing on top of wild moor, you can't help but feel more alive. And this really is a wild moor. Great Fryup Dale is located right in the centre of the National Park and has huge vistas.

Public transport
The nearest train station is Danby via Middlesbrough. From there you'll need to travel to and from the Yorkshire Cycle Hub by taxi. Taxis will need to be pre-booked both ways. Here are a few to try:
Staying over
Yorkshire Cycle Hub have both bunk and cottage accommodation. More details are on their website. Or if you want more luxury, I can totally recommend Crag House Farm, a short distance away. If you fancy something a bit more quirky, check out this lovely shepherd's hut near Great Ayton.
North York Moors National Park also have lots of accommodation choices on their website.
Please do check their cancellation policies before booking accommodation.
