Beer, Devon

For the bank holiday weekend, we're planning 3 nights at YHA Beer, near Seaton in Devon.

On the edge of the fishing village of Beer, this light and airy country house, once a smugglers’ haunt, has a large lawned garden. Walk along the South West Coast Path, hunt for fossils on Charmouth Beach, visit great pubs, beaches & scenery.

Deposit of £48 to book please. Total cost will be about £95 including bed, meals and petrol contribution.

Dave & Helen

Lavenham, Suffolk

Enjoy a bigger walk now the evenings are longer. This is a classic Suffolk walk of 12½ miles from one picturesque village to another. From Lavenham’s timber framed houses and medieval church to Long Melford and back via two historic houses - Melford and Eastwell. Meet in the car park opposite the church in Lavenham at 10.30am.

Bring sandwiches although we may have a few pub stops on the way.

Join Jim for a cycle ride of 11.5 miles out to the White Hart pub in Margretting Tye, with 2 miles back to the car afterwards. The route goes through Galleywood, to West Hanningfield, through Stock to the White Hart at Margaretting Tye, and is all on quiet roads once we get out of Galleywood. Meet at Galleywood common car park off the B1007 Stock road (grid ref TL703022, see map) at 7:30pm, don't forget lights.
