This weekend break is based on the beautiful Dorset coast, staying at the Cromwell House Hotel in Lulworth Cove to walk the striking coastal paths nearby. On the Saturday we can take the path from the village heading to Durdle Door for a wonderful walk along the cliffs, maybe descending to the beach at Durdle Door if we feel energetic. On Sunday we could either walk in the other direction from the Cove along another lovely stretch of coast path, or do a walk along Purbeck ridge which would give us extensive views across both the coast and the Dorset heathlands, finishing with a spectacular view of the Corfe Castle ruins. (These coastal walks are all well within the Low Intermediate grade, but may involve more 'up' and 'down' than some other low intermediate destinations!) If you can arrive by 1pm on Friday, there can be another shorter walk inland from Lulworth Cove in the afternoon. Lulworth Cove lies between Swanage and Weymouth, and is a short taxi ride from Wool station on the Waterloo to Weymouth line. Cromwell House is a comfortable 2 star hotel 200m from the sea front with ensuite twin and single rooms. (Single supplement £10 a night).

The Grasmere fells will be coming into their autumn colour for this weekend of lovely Low Intermediate rambles or rewarding explorations onto Grasmere's Intermediate fells. You can choose which level of walks you prefer each day - useful if you're not sure which grade will suit you best. Lower rambles might include a wonderful circuit of Loughrigg Fell, with stretches through the autumnal woods, lake views, and a return past pretty Loughrigg Tarn. Intermediate walks have all of Grasmere's fabulous ridges to choose from - wild Blea Rigg, popular Helm Crag, or lesser known Grasmere Common overlooking Easedale Tarn. The weekend is based at Glenthorne Guest House in Grasmere - always a favourite for its friendliness, comfortable rooms, lovely garden, and excellent food!

The Suffolk Coast is another area of outstanding natural beauty. Centred along this coastal stretch is the ancient settlement of Dunwich - once the seat of kings facing the North Sea. Later it became a thriving port and ship building harbour important enough to elect 2 members of Parliament. However, over the centuries the sea made serious incursions along this coastline, and in the 14th century alone 400 houses, 2 churches, and several windmills 'succumbed to tempests'. Today Dunwich is reduced to a quiet village on the edge of the sea with a fascinating history, a small museum, and a ruined priory. Paths fan out from the village through Minsmere Nature Reserve, to the pretty estuary village of Walberswick, or inland through fields and woodland - giving us several of 7-8 miles circuits to explore. In Dunwich we will be staying at The Ship Inn - a former coaching inn which offers simple ensuite twin and single rooms, and excellent pub fare in the evenings. Darsham station is 5 miles away by taxi. (Evening meals are not included - from £15).

This autumn's Map & Compass holiday will have 2 guides to cater for different levels of map reading experience. One group will start from basics and work up to using compasses - leaving with a secure sense of how to find your way using a walking map, and how to find out where you are (and where you're going!) by using map and compass together. The other will start with a compass refresher, then go on to apply compass techniques in more advance situations - great for if you've done Maps & Compasses before and want to consolidate what you know and take it further. This holiday with Yvonne and Marian is based at Glenthorne Guest House in Grasmere where there are lots of single rooms available, a roomy lounge and conservatory, and a games room which we will turn into a map reading space. Maps and compasses will be provided (or bring your own!)
