Top Active Leisure Sport in Yorkshire and the Humber

I suggest going early, around 8 AM, to beat the crowds. I went later and it felt like a highway with everyone else there. Early birds get the best photos!

I suggest arriving by 10 AM if you want to catch the morning briefings and enjoy a full day’s experience. The earlier you get there, the more flying time you can get under your belt!

My advice is to wear layers! The weather can change quickly up in the air, and while it’s warm on the ground, it can get chilly once you're soaring. Better to be prepared!

If you want to dodge the crowds, try visiting around 2 PM on weekdays. It’s way quieter then and the atmosphere is more relaxed, which makes for a better experience.

I recommend parking at the main car park before 10 AM to snag a good spot; it fills up super quick. Plus, you’ll beat the crowds on the trails!

If you're planning to get a coffee or snacks, I suggest stopping by the local shops in Hathersage first. They'll save you a few pounds compared to the ones on-site

I suggest checking out the food stalls before the event starts. They offer better variety and shorter queues than when the event is on. I missed a good burger because of that!

My advice is to explore public transport options. Uber was a bit pricey for me, but I found the tram to be super convenient and saved me some bucks!

My advice is to wear good hiking boots. I didn’t, and my feet were sore by the end. The paths can get a bit slippery with mud, especially after rain.

I suggest getting there early, around 8 AM, to avoid crowds and get the best views. It was way less busy when I arrived then compared to later in the day.

I suggest arriving around 10 AM to avoid the afternoon rush. It makes getting on the water way easier and more enjoyable! Trust me, it can get busy fast.
