Social Events and Holidays
Small Group Club Holiday Weekend 10th-12th October 2025
We are having a holiday to celebrate 10 years on the Meetup website, and to hopefully interest new members. We will be staying in Hartington youth hostel in the Peak District. There will be short and medium level walks on the Saturday and Sunday from the youth hostel, starting at 9am each day. We are looking for a leader for long walks on the holiday.
YHA Hartington is a beautiful building and an economical option for accommodation. You can book your own room (from £100 for two nights) or book a space in a private shared room (£46 place in six bed room shared bathroom or £62.50 in 4 bed with private bathroom for two nights).
Breakfast is available to purchase (£5.95 continential or £9.95 full) or you can use the self-catering facilities to make your own breakfast as well as your picnic lunch.
Evening meals are also available at the hostel, these are between £9 and £13 for a main. And there is the Devonshire Arms pub nearby as another option for an evening meal. The menu looks nice and mains are between £13 and £20. Booking early is recommended as the rooms do fill up. For further information or for discussing booking a bed. Contact Yvette G by email:

Club Group Walking Holiday Planned for Spring 2026
We are looking for expressions of interest in an HF walking holiday for April/May 2026. For 5 to 7 nights in the HF Holidays’ centre at Church Stretton. A minimum of 10-15 people is required to get a discount. The prices are not yet available, but to give an idea, this year the discount was £175 pp on a guided 7 day holiday for a group of 10 or more, bringing the price down from £1119 to £944. If we got 15 people, one place is free and so split between everyone that would make the holiday £881. We want to register interest as soon as possible, but at the very latest before the end of March 2025 as this is when the offers come out. Doing it at this time is our best chance to get single rooms which go quickly.
The Long Mynd House at Church Stretton is undergoing very extensive refurbishment. Initially HF had the property on a lease but have now bought it and they are spending heavily. This should be a lovely place to stay.
Why you need to visit the new and improved Longmynd Hotel – HF Holidays.
The idea is that we should arrange car share to keep down costs. Church Stretton is also easily reached on the train. For further information please contact Yvette G, by email:
