We set off just before sunset, travelling slowly along the edge of this ancient land, gently waking up our senses. Taking ourselves on an adventure that would calm the mind right down and make us feel more present. Doing this meant we could feel, hear and see so much more.
From this special place, the vistas are simply breathtaking. On a clear day you can watch the sun set behind the Yorkshire Dales in the distance. Below are expansive, flat plains that go on as far as the eye can see. The skies here are simply huge.
On this particular day the cloud started to roll in so our views were limited. Did that matter? Not one iota. Our senses had come alive and as we walked we heard wildlife around us. Bats flying above our heads. We chose to walk without head torches for longer so our night vision became stronger.
Our guide Fabian, brought our attention to visible land marks, stars, and spoke to us about the universe. It was utterly enthralling.
Meanwhile our bodies and mind felt alive. Zinging. Slightly altered from doing something different at night. And we all agreed we felt so much calmer.
Look here to find out when our next Magical Mystery Twilight Walk is happening.
