As promised, latest updates on what's happening this summer. You may alrady have had an email outlining all this, but please note the addition of the Ullswater holiday in June.
Summer news:
Latest updates on what’s hot in Knobbly Stick’s summer:
1) Self guided holidays – we’re starting to get a rush on the Dales Way and the Cumbria Way, so, if you’re interested, get in touch, and we’ll sort you out with either of these 2 wonderful linear routes. If you want a customised route around the Lakes or the Dales, we can do that too, so give us a bell or an email to discuss your requirements.
2) In no particular order, why not join us on the following guided holidays?
a) The Keswick B&B break, 15th to 20th June. Most of our guided holidays are on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis staying at hotels, but with this one, you are booked in on a B&B basis only in the number one walking centre of Keswick. Walking for all tastes – gentle valley strolls or coming to grips with some bigger hills. Get in touch before all the B&Bs get full up!
b) Three other Keswick holidays, all based at the excellent Highfield Hotel. They run from 8th to 13th June (hurry for this one!) 6th to 11th July and 17th to 2nd August. The Highfield isn’t the largest hotel in the Lake District, so get in touch if you’re interested in any of these. Sitting on the lawn in front of the Highfield with a cup of tea or a beer after a day out in the fells, as you look down Borrowdale is one of the great experiences of life!
c) The Railway Walk (August 10th to 15th) from Settle to Kirkby Stephen along (or rather very close to) the line of the world famous Settle to Carlisle Railway. A truly magnificent walk, and, as an extra bonus, there is a steam train scheduled on the 13th. Don’t forget your camera! We stay at the Falcon Manor Hotel in Settle returning there every day (by train, of course) at the end of each walking day.
d) Ullswater 22nd to 26th June: England’s most beautiful lake, according to many judges better than ourselves, set in some of the area’s fines hills. Helvellyn, Fairfield, St Sunday Crag, or, of course, some gentle strolls exploring valleys such as Grisedale and Dovedale. Plus a ride of on the Ullswater “steamer” – what a way to start the day!
e) And finally, but by no means least, County Mayo, on the west coast of Ireland, 30th August to 6th September. A good idea to book early to be able to get a cheap flight from the U.K to Knock Airport, where we’ll pick you up. County Mayo is the place to get away from it all, and to enjoy some truly unique and wonderful scenery.
We hope to see you soon. If you need more information, send us an email or phone us on 01539 737576.
