Coast Holiday Views

Whether you have been many times before, or would be coming for your first time, the beauty of the coastline and countryside around Lulworth Cove will never cease to amaze and inspire. Come and join us in this gem on the Jurassic Coast where we will have our own resident geologist who will be able to explain the wonders of the rocky coastline around us. The walks have yet to be decided but we will look to include Durdle Door, the Stair Hole, the Fossil Forest and possibly some ventures further inland. Given the time of year, we may well be blessed with a beautiful sunset at the end of our walks.

We have exclusive hire of the YHA Lulworth Cove, which has a maximum capacity of 34 so we should have plenty to space. Final costs will be shared once final numbers are known, but, as an indication, and based on an occupancy of 20 people, the accommodation cost for the Friday and Saturday nights combined would be £38. For those who might not be so keen to stay in the YHA, then please feel free to book your own accommodation and come and join us on the walks – details of which to be provided.

Whilst I am optimistic that we will have sunshine, this is the UK and rainclouds are never far away, so please bring a pair of good walking boots and a full set of waterproofs.

Booking onto a walk

Most walks do not require advance booking, and you can just turn up on the day. We encourage those comfortable with Meetup to indicate there that you plan to come though, so that others can see there will be plenty of people there – this really helps to encourage new members to come along.
For the few which still have limited numbers, this is handled via Meetup. Follow the link to a walk’s Meetup page (or press 🎟 Register / 🎟 Tickets / 🎟), and mark yourself as attending.
Social and other events may have their own booking system – please see the event description.

Pace Guide

Gentle: led at a gentle pace with regular short breaks for water or rest. Should be suitable for anyone capable of the distance. (Expect 2–2.5 mph.)
Medium: led at an intermediate pace with fewer breaks but still suitable for most walkers. (Expect 2.5–3 mph.)
Fast: led at a quick pace with minimal breaks. May be a challenge for those with less fitness. (Expect 3 mph+.)

Speeds quoted are only a rough guide, including time spent on short water/rest stops and negotiating stiles/gates/roads etc. but not that spent on longer lunch or pub stops.
