Fancy a walking holiday in the Lakes?
Do you dream of a walking holiday in the Lake District, but you've got no one to go with? Or you keep talking about a walking holiday with your favourite walking buddy, but haven't got round to booking it? The Alton Ramblers has you covered. They have organised a 5-day walking holiday in the Lake District next September, including accommodation at Hassness House in Buttermere and two experienced walk leaders tailoring walks to the group's needs. All walkers in Alton are welcome.
Itinerary
Monday 20 September, 3.00pm: Meet at Hassness House to discuss the locations and types of walks with our leaders and plan routes to suit all abilities.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday: Enjoy three days of walking in the beautiful Lake District landscape, with walks tailored to the group’s abilities and expectations.
Friday 25 September, from 9.00am: Depart for home.
Accommodation
Lucy and the team who manage Hassness House provide a welcoming, supportive home-from-home atmosphere where everyone is on first-name terms. There are a mix of room types: three single, four twin and one double bedroom. All rooms have fantastic views of Buttermere lake or the garden.
The price includes breakfast and dinner throughout your stay, plus packed lunches on walking days, with one exception: dinner is not included on Wednesday evening, so you will need to make your own arrangements. A continental breakfast will be provided on Wednesday morning.
Transport is not included in the price. Parking is available in the car park within the house grounds.
Cost
The cost will depend on the group size and accommodation type, but should be around £850–£950 per person. Due to the lack of single rooms, some people will need to share. Note: four rooms have shared bathrooms.
