Secure your Space"Thank you again for organising such a wonderful weekend [...] I really love how you've created a space that embraces all types of women, no matter their backgrounds, age or fitness levels. It really shows through the snippets of chats I had with many of the ladies over the weekend, how each one of us was searching for something like TAGC and in finding it, we are thrilled to be surrounded by such strong resilient women encouraging us to be our best selves!"

Our Guides
Alice Keegan
Founder & CEO
Alice founded the club in 2022 after years of feeling a bit out of place in the outdoor community. She wanted to create a softer anti-dote to the extreme, goal orientated ego-centric attitude to the outdoors. Alice is also a qualified mountain leader and loves sharing her love for the mountains with women who lack the confidence to go themselves.
Melissa Schubert
Mountain Leader
Mel is a Rock Climbing Instructor and Mountain Leader, passionate about building a community, working with people to expand their potential, and engaging in all things adventurous in beautiful green and blue spaces.
She loves being part of empowering events for women and is grateful to promote these as part of her career in the outdoors. In her free time, Mel enjoys beautiful walks, adventure, and wild swimming with friends, often adding bookshop stops, cafe visits, and good food along the way.
The food:
Our on-site chef, Beth Hodge, a certified health and wellbeing coach, will lovingly prepare and cook the food for the weekend.
Beth says:
"As a health coach and retreat chef, I believe that food is so much more than just fuel—it’s an experience that should nourish both body and soul. My approach to cooking centres on energising, whole foods that are not only delicious but also satisfying and inspiring. I create vibrant, colourful dishes packed with real flavours, textures, colours and nutrients, designed to make you feel amazing after eating. For me, food is about joy, excitement, and connection serving dishes that are always a reflection of the wholesome, satisfying experience that food should be....I craft meals meant to be shared and self-served from the table, creating a communal experience where the energy around the table is as important as the nutrients on your plate."
Here is an example of the kind of food to expect on the weekend:
Breakfast: Nourishing bowls to start the day right - designed to sustain energy throughout the morning.
Lunch: Build-your-own packed lunches with hearty, flavourful sandwich fillings and savoury picnic-style treats, perfect for fueling your walk.
Dinner: A vibrant table full of colour, texture, and flavours, Built to share and tuck in. Mediterranean-inspired spread with Greek and Lebanese influences; flatbreads, dips, filo pastry pies, and fresh yet hearty salads, all designed for sharing on a warm summer evening.
