Away Breaks for 2024

To complement our fortnightly Sunday and summer evening Thursday walks, we take a break three times a year. This year the away breaks are planned for 10th to 12th May at Nene Valley (Helen and Dave Morrison), 28th to 30th June in Derbyshire (Janet Earwaker and Kathy Kilsby), and 3rd to 5th September at Somerset Levels (Tony and Kathy Kilsby).

There are usually walks planned for each of the days covered by the break, and the first two days will probably end with a social evening.

The organisers of the away breaks will suggest accommodation possibilities but this does not prevent members from seeking out their own.

Please contact the organisers for details of the walks and their start locations (and times!).

Away Break 9th to 11th September

 

Away Break 9th to 11th September

Exciting news! Our weekend away has transformed into a fabulous midweek escape! Mark your calendars for the 9th, 10th and 11th of September, as we've lined up an amazing array of walks and adventures just for you.

This is the site we are going to in September. Lurcher Farm, Mansfield Road, Farnsfield, NG22 8HY (///tingled.neatly.variation). Tel: 0797 060 1397

In a delightful twist, the original destination planned by Tony will now be our May retreat. But fear not, because the upcoming trip promises just as much fun and discovery!

On Tuesday, 10th September, we're hosting our highlight event, originally the "Saturday" walk, which will be perfect for those looking to join us just for the day. This is the walk you won't want to miss!

We'll kick off our adventure on Monday with a delightful trip to Clumber Park, where we'll spend the day exploring its picturesque grounds. Then, on Wednesday, we'll venture into the legendary Sherwood Forest, following the trail to the iconic Major Oak.

While these walks might not take us through the usual fields and stiles, they promise to be every bit as enjoyable. Get ready for an unforgettable experience filled with nature, camaraderie, and plenty of fresh air!

The campsite is reasonably priced, clean, and tidy. Showers cost 20p per minute. Payment in cash is preferred upon arrival. Parking for an extra vehicle costs £1.00 per day. Evening meals will be at the Plough (///airbag.sues.outdoor) or White Post (///sailed.laughs.flagged).
