Possible weekend walks in the summer

During our last walk in Terrington at the weekend a number of you showed interest in organising a weekend away for wlaks in say the Lakes.

Is there genuine interest in doing this sort of thing?

The walks would be set at a moderate level to allow everyone to participate, although if there is sufficient interest in doing one of the higher peaks we could split the group into two and have two walk leaders. The idea is to make the walks inclusive, so wish to listen to all opinions and make it work for everyone within reason.

An itinerary might look like the following:

Friday: arrive at location and check into B&B/hotel/hostel (individuals responisble for organising their own accomodation). Meet for dinner/drink.

Alternatively, people may prefer to travel over Saturday morning to meet at the allotted walk start time on Saturday morning - normally 10am.

Saturday: walk of 6-10 miles in length. Dinner/drinks/free time in evening.

Sunday: shorter walk of 5-6 miles in the morning, leaving time for lunch and travel back to York.

Suggested locations include: Lakes - north near Keswick or south near Conistan, Teeside, Northumberland, Derbyshire dales - any others? Suggested months: June, July, August or September.

Let me know your thoughts and if there is enough interest, we can look into organising something.

Perhaps we can discuss further on the Levisham walk in February as well.
