For this weekend away, we will be staying at the very comfortable and well-appointed Quarnford Lodge (self-catering accommodation).The weekend is open to Ramblers members only, and must be booked in advance. Priority will be given to members who walk regularly with Midlife Hikers. The trip will cost £152 per person, payable in full at the time of booking – please see below for more details. This covers Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
🏨 ACCOMMODATION
Quarnford Lodge is a large self-catering house out in the hills near Buxton. Most rooms are double/twin with an en-suite shower room, a couple of rooms have bunk beds. It looks well kitted out and very classy, with two lounges and a large dining room, and includes a pool table and outside there's a table tennis table and mini golf.
Sorry, but dogs are not permitted on our weekends away.
🥾 WALKS
Walks will be determined nearer the time, but are likely to include:
• Alstonefield, Thor's Cave, Ilam Park and Dove Dale
• The Roaches and Lud's Church
• The main walk will be at least 12 miles and at the harder end of "moderate"
• Other walks or activities may be arranged for Friday afternoon or Monday, depending on interest
🍝 FOOD
The accommodation is self-catering, so you will need to arrange your own breakfast and lunch.
We will head to a nearby pub for food on one night (optional, you don't have to if you don't want to!), and on other nights there may be options for communal cooking – we'll discuss this nearer the time.
📨 BOOKING
You must be a Ramblers member to book onto this trip.
To book your place, please email [email protected], and include a photo of your membership card if you are not in the Midlife Hikers group. I will then send you details of how to pay, and your place will be confirmed once I have received your payment of £152.
If you cancel your place on the trip, we will only be able to give a refund if we are able to re-sell your place to someone else.
Places are available on a first-come first-served basis, but for the first two weeks after bookings open priority will be given to members who have been walking with Midlife Hikers.
