- 1st March
2020, Peak
District
John
is looking to
organise a weekend
away in the Peak

from Friday 28th
February to Sunday
1st March.
The plan is to
stay at Hoseasons
holiday park at
Landal Sandybrook
near Ashbourne in
lodges.
In terms of walks
exact details are
tbc but the broad
plan is a full day
walk on the
Saturday around
the Roaches on the
Western side of
the Peak District
and a shorter walk
on the Sunday.
We will book a pub
for dinner on the
Saturday night
once we know
numbers.
Please could you
let us know if you
would be
interested in
coming on the
weekend away by
replying to this
email by Friday
20th December as
we would like to
get the lodges
booked and
confirmed before
Christmas. A
£15 per person
non-returnable
deposit will be
required at the
point of booking.

Easter Weekend, 10th - 13th April 2020, Lake District
Tim and
Belinda have
offered to
organise a
weekend away
to the Lake
District, over
Easter next
year. Please
see a message
below from
them about
this trip:
We're planning
a weekend away
from Good
Friday, 10
April until
Monday 13
April. We're
suggesting
staying on
this caravan
park / in
these lodges
just outside
Keswick.
Currently
they're priced
around £110
per person for
6 people
sharing for
three nights,
so allowing
£20 for food
for breakfasts
and lunches
etc., we
estimate that
the cost will
be about £130
per person for
the weekend.
(As its Easter
weekend, we're
paying peak
prices).
The intention
is to walk up
some of the
hills in the
Lake District!
Ideally a
shorter walk
on Friday
afternoon when
we get there,
and longer
walks on
Saturday and
Sunday,
typically 8-10
miles with
minimum 500
metres of
ascent,
returning home
on Monday
afternoon, via
a hill or so,
if we're not
all walked-out
by then!
Please can you
reply to
Belinda or Tim
directly if
you have their
contact
details, if
not, please
reply to this
email and your
response will
be forwarded
on.

23rd
- 30th May 2020,
Isle of Wight
Hi all
I am planning a
trip to walk the
length of the
coast on the Isle
of Wight. This
path is approx. 70
miles.
To do this in a
leisurely manner
and allow a bit of
time to visit some
other attractions
on the Island I
have decided to
make this a week
long trip.
The dates are the
23rd - 30th May
2020
The plan is to
travel down on the
23rd and get the
ferry from
Portsmouth to
Cowes (TBC as
there are other
options). We will
car share so we
only need to take
the min number of
cars.
We can then start
the walk in a
clock wise
direction from
East Cowes.
Accommodation will
be 4 nights in the
Shanklin Villa
Apartments in
Shanklin (PO37
6AG). These
apartments are
various sizes so
the exact prices
etc will have to
be sorted when I
have exact numbers
of those who are
interested in
coming. There are
hot tubs at these
apartments and
they have great
reviews.
The last 3 nights
will be in the YHA
at Totland.
This will be an
exclusive hire so
we won't be
sharing with
anyone else.
Again the price
will depend on the
numbers coming -
the more of us the
better.
It's difficult to
give an exact plan
and costing at the
moment because it
is so dependant on
numbers. The
YHA will probably
be £60 maximum for
the 3
nights. The
apartments could
be £180ish each
but just
depends.
There will be the
cost of the ferry,
petrol and
obviously food.
If you wanted you
could also join us
on the trip but
make your own
arrangements for
accommodation and
transport.
As this stage I'm
not asking for a
committed reply to
come on the trip
but I'd appreciate
you letting me
know if you are
interested.
Many thanks
Jayne
