Patagonia in the southernmost portion of South America contains some of the most awe-inspiring scenery in the world. It is a land of wilderness where broad expanses of pampa meet the glacially sculpted spires of the Andes. Unique in its flora and fauna, and the wind blows strongly here much of the time. This high level holiday includes the spectacular 5-night 'W' trek in Las Torres del Paine National Park taking you to the foot of the soaring spires of Las Torres and close to Glacier Grey. We will also visit the spectacular Moreno glacier where huge blocks fall off into Lake Argentino to float away as ice bergs. The holiday finishes with 3 days walking in the magnificent Mt Fitzroy region of the Andes, including walking past Laguna de los Tres to reach close up views of Fitzroy's incredible North Face. Though not at altitude, non-technical, with day pack only, the walking in these areas is strenuous with plenty of 'up', and some long days in challenging terrain. The accommodation will be in hotels in Buenos Aries, tents or refuges on trek, and a hostel in Chalten near Fitzroy. Besides the internal flight between Buenos Aries and El Calafete, there will be a total 19 hours of transfer by minibus during the trip: north on Route 40 to the Paine National Park, and south to el Chalten. The first and last nights are spent in Buenos Aries with time to relax, take a city tour, see the historic area of San Isidro, or shop for souvenirs. The holiday includes the flight from London Heathrow to Buenos Aires. (See WW website Accommodation page for the full itinerary).

Includes: all breakfasts, 10 packed lunches, 7 evening meals; international flight incl. fuel surcharges & taxes; transfers & transport to walks/trek; local guide Maria; porters, & most other costs. Atol No. 6497

This Easter holiday with Lorraine & Marian offers a choice of Intermediate and Slow High walks (Slow High walks involve the same 'up' and distance as High Level walks but are taken at a slower pace). Grasmere has wonderful Intermediate walks to tempt us - ridges like wild Blea Rigg, Helm Crag, or Heron Pike with its striking views over Grasmere and Rydal Water. Alternatively you might want the challenge of going higher - onto Fairfield, High Raise, or Helvellyn - without worrying about the pace. You can choose which grade you prefer, or swap between them to stretch or take it easy according to how you feel. This holiday is based at comfortable and friendly Glenthorne Guest House in Grasmere with ensuite twin and standard single rooms without a supplement, excellent food, and a lovely garden.

In 2009 we are moving to new accommodation in the Newlands Valley beyond Keswick - staying at Littletown Farm which nestles close to the route up to Hindscarth & Robinson. Staying in this beautiful valley will allow us to get more off the beaten track - setting our sights on the Robinson to Dale Head ridge overlooking Buttermere, the fabulous Coledale Horseshoe which includes Grisedale Pike, or even mighty Grasmoor overlooking Crummock Water a short drive away. Littletown Farm has its own licensed bar, and serves good home-cooked evening meals (as well as afternoon tea after a hard day's walk!). The farm offers comfortable twin and single rooms (mostly ensuite or with private facilities) each with its own stunning view looking directly onto the fells. Guided by Marcelle.

Price includes: 3 nights full board at Littletown Farm B&B
Staying in twin rooms with ensuite or private facilities. Single rooms also available (Ensuite singles rooms £10 a night supplement).

Here's a weekend break with a choice of Intermediate and Slow High walks each day so that you can stretch or take it easy without worrying about the pace. For Intermediate walks we have many Grasmere fells to choose from - wild Blea Rigg, the Helm Crag ridge, or Heron Pike with its fabulous views over Grasmere and Rydal Water. For Slow High walks we'll surely reach the summit of Fairfield with striking views towards Helvellyn and the Patterdale fells. On the Sunday we could walk to High Raise, or tackle the fabulous Langdale Pikes from nearby Great Langdale. This weekend is based at popular Glenthorne Guest House in Grasmere where the food is excellent, and there's a lovely garden to enjoy after walking.

Rum is a diamond shaped jewel of a place - an island of the Inner Hebrides of spectacular wildness and beauty. Its glaciated 'cullins' (high rocks) Askival, Hellival, Trollaval, and Orval, started life near the equator, and are the shattered remnants of a once huge volcano. Apart from its incredible scenery, Rum has been a nature reserve for over 40 years. We may be lucky and see otters fishing along the shores of Loch Scresort, or red deer and wild goats in the heather as we walk. Golden eagles often soar above the Cullins, while Shearwaters nest on their slopes and skim the sea in significant numbers. There are many fabulous high walks to choose from here, often off-path through the heather - along high cliffs overlooking the sea, onto peaks with stunning views, or looking north to the Skye Cullins from beautiful Kilmory Sands. To access the best parts of this island, we will stay for 2 nights in a bothy, walking there low level with 3 days' food and gear, living in very simple bothy conditions with water from a nearby stream and sleeping mats on the floor - a real Scottish walking experience! The rest of the time our base will be the hostel in extraordinary Kinloch Castle near Loch Scresort. Trains run from Glasgow to Malaig, and from Malaig you catch the regular Rum ferry which is a magical journey in itself.

This holiday with Anita & Jane offers an exciting choice of Slow High and High Level mountain walks off the beaten track in the Snowdonia National Park. Slow High walks have the ascent and length of High Level walks, but are taken at a more intermediate pace. You can choose which grade suits you best - and change walks if need be. For this holiday we will be based in the lovely Nantlle Valley at friendly Trigonos Centre - perfect for WW groups with attractive twin rooms and plenty of singles. The glorious Nantlle ridge - one of the best ridge walks in Wales - will be right on our doorstep. Moel Hebog near Beddgelert is another likely choice - steep but rewarding with breathtaking views of Snowdon. We can also tackle the lesser used Snowdon Ranger path up the back of Snowdon, returning over Moel Cynghorion with Llyn Cwellyn lying below. This would leave nearby Mynydd Mawr as an obvious choice for the last day. Trigonos Centre is set in its own grounds near Nantlle lake, and is accessible by 4pm bus from Bangor station.
