This holiday covers the first quarter of the Pembrokeshire coast path from its start at Amroth to Pembroke Castle. While containing plenty of 'ups' and 'downs' as we walk classic Pembrokeshire stretches of stunning sea cliffs, this first section is gentler overall as it also includes the long bays of Tenby, Freshwater East and Angle. As such it makes a good introduction to the Path although the days are still up to 13 miles in length. For this holiday we will be based at East Trewent Farm which women really enjoyed last year. Located midpoint along our route, the farm offers a mix of ensuite and standard twin and single rooms. Each day we will use the coastal bus or taxi to reach our next starting point. The nearest station is at Lamphey and a lift will be possible from Lamphey station to the farm if arranged in advance. Guided by Jo J.

The West Highland Way is one of the most breathtaking long distance paths, following ancient trails steeped in history through some of the most spectacular scenery in Britain - from the Scottish lowlands near Glasgow to Fort William near the foot of Ben Nevis in the Highlands. There'll be bluebells on the shores of Loch Lomond, dramatic waterfalls in Glen Falloch, the bleak expanses of Rannoch Moor, and the dramatic Highland scenery of Glencoe and Lairigmor. We start from Drymen, missing out the first road walking section from Glasgow. From Drymen it is 83 glorious miles to Fort William, averaging 12 miles and 340m of ascent a day over 7 walking days. On the way we stay mostly in ensuite twin rooms in B&Bs, old coaching inns, and small hotels. (No nights in hostels this year). Guided by Sue M. (Luggage is transported by taxi).

The famous Coast to Coast walk was devised by Wainwright to link the Irish Sea and the North Sea. It is a route rather than an official long distance path, walking 190 miles from St Bees Head through the Lake District, and across the Pennines, Yorkshire Dales, and North York Moors to Robin Hood's Bay on the east coast. It is one of Britain's most popular long distance walks and undoubtedly includes some of the finest upland scenery in England. On this holiday with Marian we will complete the walk in 14 days, with daily distances ranging from 8 miles on two of the higher Lake District days to as many as 23 miles as we near the end of our journey (average: 14 miles a day). The amount of daily ascent is greatest early on - ranging from 550m-750m a day as we traverse the Lakeland fells and Pennines, then increasing again briefly as we cross the North York Moors with a great sense of achievement to reach Robin Hood's Bay. 5 of the nights are spent in youth hostel dormitories and include evening meals. The other 10 are spent in 2-4 bedded rooms in small hotels and B&Bs where evening meals are not included (from £12). Packed lunches and luggage transport are included throughout - you carry a day pack only. This holiday is best reached by public transport - see below.

Pembrokeshire is blessed with some of the finest coastal scenery in the country - possessing a highly indented coastline where wild stretches of sea cliff form a sanctuary for birds, and little coves enclose quaint harbours or stretches of sandy beach. Of the total 182 miles, this holiday covers 45 spectacular miles between Dale Point and Whitesands Bay near St David's. Our first 2 nights will be in twin rooms at Dale Fort Field Centre which has a superb position on Dale Point overlooking the sea. With transport out to our walks, the next 2 nights will be spent in dormitories at Broad Haven hostel. Finally, as we round the 'Lands End' of Wales and reach Whitesands Bay, our last night will be spent at the Eco Hotel in St Davids. The days are 8 - 13 miles in length with plenty of 'up's and 'downs' and a constantly changing view as our reward! Haverfordwest station has a bus service to Dale, and a returning bus service from St Davids. (Transport to each new stretch of the Path & transport of luggage is included. You carry a day pack only).
