Easter in the Lake District

Dave P

Five nights at the Langton Centre, Hartsop in Patterdale, at the foot of the Kirkstone Pass, near Brotherswater, 2 miles from Ullswater and in sight of Hellvelyn and the High Street range. An ideal location for some of the best walking in the Lake District.

The centre has been refurbished since our last visit. It has central heating, showers, a lounge with easy chairs, dining room and games room, a drying room and well equipped kitchen.

Pillows and blankets are provided; you need to bring a pillowcase and sleeping bag or sheets and duvets.

To find it, turn off A592 near Brotherswater onto the lane to Hartsop. We are in the big white house immediately on the left. Grid reference NY405133, postcode CA11 0NZ. Parking behind the house (by the games room, not in the lane).

Cost will be about £17 per night including food, plus around £35 petrol contribution for those sharing lifts from Essex.

This trip is now fully booked

Wednesday 30^th March

Southern India slideshow

Carol F

Share Carol’s cultural adventure across the colourful landscape of southern India. From intricately carved temples to lush jungles and historic harbour ports; the heights of the Western Ghats to Chennai and the Bay of Bengal. A trip not to be missed!

Note: Unless otherwise stated, Wednesday events start at 8.30pm at the YMCA in Victoria Road, Chelmsford
