I joined S40 in May 18, having relocated from Jersey, and I have been made truly welcome, thank you all. I would love for you to join me on a walking weekend in Jersey, an island I have enjoyed calling home for the past 12 years.

We are heading off to Jersey, to enjoy the coastal paths, and some Jersey Hospitality. We will plan at least two walks over the three days – on the very rugged coastal paths of the island. We will arrange walks – distances, etc when we have a clear idea of the interests and abilities of the group.

There will be opportunities for a little sight-seeing for those who don’t want to walk on all three days.
Flights are available daily from Doncaster Sheffield Airport, with Flybe (Flybe.com). You are welcome to fly out to Jersey Friday 3rd and back on Tuesday 7th, or if you can only spend a shorter period on the island, you will still be most welcome.

You will need to arrange your own accommodation.

I will probably BBQ every evening either on the beach or somewhere convenient.

We will look at our transport needs on the island once we know who is joining us, where people are staying and where we will walk from and to. In general the island is serviced by excellent bus services.

For more information, help and advice about accommodation, the weekend in general and the likely walks contact Jersey Mark 07850 335588; mark@cedarcottage.je

Details: Llandudno weekend

Friday 6th to Monday 9th September £120 for 3 nights (Deposit £40).

We have booked a spacious cottage in Llandudno, Conwy. Seven bedrooms over three floors, 3x king size (one can be converted to a twin room if necessary) 1x double room, 3x twin rooms, the cottage has 3 bathrooms plus small toilet downstairs. Kitchen/Diner with breakfast bar. Sitting room, games room (with pool table) Garden and Patio.

This stylish semi-detached cottage lies between the two beautiful beaches of Llandudno, a wonderful base to uncover the true medieval gems and vibrant attractions of this precious destination.

An excellent variety of shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés are nearby, as well as Venue Cymru, which is North Wales' premier theatrical stage for opera, boasting a programme that is second to none, all this is just a stone's throw from the promenade.

Sorry no pets.

Llandudno lies between two headlands, the Great Orme and the Little Orme and it is these headlands, and the town's two waterfronts, that give this tourist resort its special appeal. The town offers two superb beaches - the North Shore, with its wide promenade backed by an imposing crescent of Victorian hotels and the quieter West Shore with miles of sandy shoreline backed by sand dunes and superb views towards Anglesey.

For the best views, however, you can reach the summit of the 679ft Great Orme using either the Great Orme Tramway or by taking an exciting cable car ride of over a mile. Just 4 miles away is the town of Conwy - a designated World Heritage Site. A true medieval gem, Conwy is dominated by a splendid castle and completely enclosed by its well-preserved town walls. Discover miles of sandy beaches along the North Wales coast and excellent walking and climbing in the Snowdonia National Park just 20 minutes' drive away.

We will plan various walks around the area, information closer to the time.

If you would like to join us please email sheffield40swg@gmail.com or text Tracey on 07903 440 314 once your place is confirmed please pay a deposit of £40 to Account: 20198167, Sort Code: 60-83-01, reference: Llandudno.
