Walking weekends in hotel style accomodation are arranged twice a year. There is always a big demand for the places available. As well as the walking in some nice countryside, a disco is generally organised on the Saturday evening at the hotel. Some of the places we have visited have been Malham, Sedbergh, and Coniston.
Here are a few photos taken on the weekend aways in Alnmouth in April 2006 and Keswick in Oct 2006. The company was good, the accomodation was excellent and there was plenty of activities to keep us all occupied!
This is a collage composed from the many weekends away that The Thursday Group has done.
Part of the group taking the easier walk posing for the photo outside the Derwent Bank which was being used exclusively for the Thursday Group's Walking Weekend. We do easy walks as well as the more challenging walks so that we can cater for all tastes!
Enjoying a well earned break from the walk!
John - the organiser of the weekend -arranges a disco for us at the hotel in the evening and, as you can see, there are plenty of participants!
Another successful disco organised by John at Keswick.
After the dancing you can sit down and relax with a drink
The major attraction apart from the good company is the attractive areas we visit.
Alnwick Castle with the wonderful pastoral foreground!
A walk in the Alnwick Castle grounds reveals lots of picturesque scenes.
