Melton and Leicestershire Walking Cycling and Leisure Group

THIS EVENT IS NOW FULL!

How about an amazing beach side spring break in Cornwall with up to FIVE days walking and activities and FOUR nights accommodation for an amazing price of just £124. for FOUR NIGHTS OVER A BANK HOLIDAY, outrageous!

You can use your stay to walk the South West Coast Path with the group, to tackle a range of local walks straight from the hostel or to chill and enjoy the beach activities in the area. There is also of course the chance to visit the iconic EDEN PROJECT that is just 14 miles away. NOT TO BE MISSED

The South West Coast Path is 300 miles of amazing. Great walks, stunning scenery, wonderful beaches and some atmospheric pubs and bars as well. We will manage all of those and more at this wonderful location. Picture is of Hemmick Beach near to our accommodation. For those who want to walk every day (and it is entirely optional) we can get virtually from Falmouth to Plymouth -incredible.

This of course includes all of the accommodation and food although on the Thursday arrival night we are not catering and expect participants to eat out at a local pub or restaurant at attendees own expense or self cater at the hostel.

Revised arrangements for the weekend mean that you can choose whether to arrive Thursday or Friday with all nights up to Bank Holiday Monday departure now included without additional cost. It's a bargain.

Breakfast, lunch packups and dinner (x 3) are included with dinner on Thursday night being at attendees own expense at a local hostelry or from fish and chip takeaway or by self catering.

We have no staff as such so help is needed with preparation and clearing up on a voluntary basis. We do cater for most dietary requirements and preferences but please ask if unsure. We don't normally provide biscuits, cakes or desserts so if you want to bring some of these to share that would be lovely.

Accommodation is single sex bunk rooms of a variety of sizes with full bedding provided but not towels.

The cost should now be paid in full at £124.00 payable when you book to which must be added Meetup booking fees when you book via the Meetup app. You can also pay via BACS without Meetup booking fees. You can also split the cost by paying £62.00 when you book and a further £62.00 on the 1st April 2025. If paying via BACS please let us know you have booked and we will then add you to the event manually.

Starting outside the rather splendid Crown Inn we take a route through Nether Broughton and Queensway Old Dalby before heading back to the start.

Distance is around 9 miles. Country paths in Leicestershire can be be very muddy and sometimes a bit overgrown so dress accordingly with stout footwear or walking boots, waterproofs etc.

Bring snacks, drinks and a lunch packup.

Please take LOTS of pictures and upload them so everyone can see how much fun you had.

Well behaved dogs are welcome on most of our walks but must not be constantly barking and must be put on a short lead when near farm animals or signs require it.

Lift sharing is strongly encouraged, just leave a message below if offering or asking for a lift.

We do not wait for latecomers!

What about a combination weekend at a GREAT location with all the accommodation and food included, a great SOCIAL atmosphere with a CHOICE of walks every day and on the Saturday as well as a normal circular walk option, the opportunity to instead do either the renowned YORKSHIRE THREE PEAKS CHALLENGE or our very own THREE PEAKS CHALLENGE EXTREME the latter straight from and to our accommodation venue.

Ingleton is a gem at the heart of the Yorkshire Dales and YHA Ingleton a great base to explore all of this wonderful area. It is close to the famed Yorkshire Three Peaks of Pen y ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside which are well worth exploring individually or as part of the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge which can just as easily be tackled from here as well as the more usual starting point of Horton in Ribblesdale. But there is so much else to do in this area we will be spoiled for choice.

We believe some will want to do our NEW Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge Walk from Ingleton which is a cool 29.4 miles and we have put this on as a separate event in the event list to deal with that but sharing accommodation with others on the normal Walking and Social Summer Break.

There are some already signed up for the above which is great but we have also now had requests from some who want to do the Classic (shorter) Y3P Challenge from Horton in Ribblesdale on this particular weekend so have added that as a separate event as well. Everyone will be sharing the same venue and have the option of doing other walks on days other than Saturday when the two Challenge walks will be done.

All the catering and accommodation arrangements work the same for everyone regardless of your Saturday activity choice and walks on Friday and Sunday are open to all.

There is even a wonderful Lido swimming pool adjacent to the hostel for a well deserved swim after a hard day on the hill.

Friday arrival at our accommodation is from anytime after 6pm but we will lay on a bonus walk for those who can arrive in the area for likely 10:30am to ensure we make the best of the day.

We shall be rustling up a delicious hot meal for Friday night with vegetarian option so no need to eat on the way and although we'll serve up about 8pm, there'll be plenty kept for those arriving a little later.

Help yourself breakfasts and lunch packups are provided as is hot food Friday and Saturdays night but feel free to bring desserts, cakes and other goodies to share as well as your own drinks. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Accommodation is single sex bunk rooms of a variety of sizes with full bedding provided but not towels.

Saturday and Sunday routes will be discussed with everyone on arrival to ensure we are meeting overall expectations but on this weekend there are many routes we could choose from, so something for everyone.

The cost will be paid as a non-returnable deposit of just £25 payable when you book via Meetup, to which must be added Meetup booking fees. The balance of £89 will be payable by BACS 12 weeks prior to the event being 24th May 2025.
