weekends away

Always prove popular with opportunity to walk and have fun in other parts of the country. In the past year we have been to the Yorkshire Dales, South Downs, Brecon, Snowdon, Exmoor and Hay on Wye.  They can be organised by anyone in the group so if you've an idea for one and want to publicise it, let the Webmaster know and it will be listed here and a forum set up on the message board for it.

Usually there will be a "waitlist" operating for a weekend away once its fully booked so you may still be able to go on a trip if someone has to drop out, contact the trip organiser to ask to go on the waitlist.

If you are thinking of organising a group weekend using a YHA hostel don't forget we have a group membership card so can get a discount on accommodation.

As places are always limited, and typically oversubscribed, these events are usually only open to group members.
