This weekend break is based on the beautiful Dorset coast, staying at the very comfortable 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 (Ensuite single supplement £10 a night).

This new venue in the Newlands valley near Keswick gives exciting weekend access to the Derwent and Grasmoor fells of the northern Lakes. We could tackle the superb Grisedale Horseshoe from Bassenthwaite - a strenuous but hugely rewarding Lake District circuit. On Sunday, we might head up from Little Town onto the Robinson/Dale Head ridge for its stunning views over Buttermere and the Central Fells. We could then descend over Hindscarth or even along the High Spy if there is time. For this weekend we will be staying at 17th century Swinside Inn and Swinside Farmhouse immediately across the road - all eating together at the inn in the evening for its friendly atmosphere, lovely old bar, and good pub food. (Evening meals not included - from £12).

The fantastic ancient yews of Kingley Vale, superb views from the Downs across Chichester harbour to the sea, Bosham harbour which dates back to Saxon and medieval times, waders and waterbirds … plenty to explore on this South Downs weekend based in the quiet rural setting of East Ashling a short taxi ride from Chichester. Here we'll be staying at the Horse & Groom, a 17th Century pub whose bedrooms are all located away from bar noise in two beautifully converted adjacent barns. Furthermore, these ensuite twin and double bedrooms can all be taken as singles with no extra supplement! (The pub has no separate residents lounge).
