The answer

If the distance covered by women is considered a journey (safar), then they are prohibited from undertaking it without a mahram. If it is not considered a journey, or if it is within the same town, then they are not prohibited from undertaking it alone or in groups, provided that temptation (fitnah) is safeguarded against. There is no harm for a woman to stay overnight at her paternal uncle's house if temptation is safeguarded against.
