Weekend

Something different in an unfamiliar place

Step by step to the weekend

Weekending

  • Friday evening to Sunday evening…maybe early morning Monday.
  • ‘Unfamiliar’ and ‘different’ – too much?
  • Add the best of One Day and make two.
  • Sorta-plan or meticulous to the minute?
  • Look to Sunday evening. Think it back to Friday evening. If you see glitches, pinch points or wheels-off potential, think again.

 

Locations

Try Walking, Biking or Just Add Water to find information and links for where to go throughout the UK.

How about:

  • “Trail-ways” – a short explore by walking or biking on one of the dozens of long distance walks within the UK e.g. Viking Way, West Highland Way, Jurassic coast, Cotswold Way.
  • A day of beaches in Pembroke, Northumberland, Dorset, Cornwall. Add a castle the next day.
  • Hills or even mountains in the National Parks or Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. e.g. Chilterns, Brecon Beacons, Dartmoor, Lake District.
  • Two long walks, or a long walk and a camp.
  • One long walk, stopping off either side e.g. Janet Foss (waterfall) and Gordale with Diggerland, or Alton Towers or National Film and Science Museum or National Film and Sci Fi Museum, en route home.
  • Dinghying in Low Wray … Bala, Snowdonia, the New Forest and Solent.
