Travel Arrangements.

You make your own travel arrangements. However we will organise transfers to and from railway stations and airports and on request. This is not included in the price and a small nominal fee will be charged.

Travel to and from the English Lake District.

By car access is easy from the M6. By rail Oxenholme (near Kendal) is on the direct London to Glasgow line with regular trains throughout the week and weekend. We will arrange pick up and drop off to and from the hotel. The most convenient airports are Manchester and Liverpool.

Travel to and from Snowdonia in Wales.

We will be staying in Llanberis which is approximately 10 miles from Bangor and 6miles from Caernarfon. By car Llanberis is accessible via the M6 (then M56 and A55) or M6/ M54 (then A5) from the south. There are regular train services to Bangor we will arrange pick ups and drop offs to and from Llanberis on request. The nearest airports are Manchester and Liverpool.

Travel to Spain.

You arrange your own flights to Alicante. Easy Jet flies there every day of the week from most British Airports (flying time two and half hours). The earlier you book the cheaper it is. But reserve a place on our holiday first - we restrict numbers to 16 per holiday group. We arrange pick up and drop off to and from the hotel.

Travel to Chamonix, the French Alps.

Fly to Geneva which also has cheap regular flights to most British Airports (flying time less than one and a half hours). Again the earlier you book the cheaper the flight however book with us first. We arrange pick up and drop off to and from the hotel.

Group Size and Minimum Numbers.

Most holidays have a maximum of 16 and require a minimum number of 6. In the unlikely event that a holiday does not attract 6 bookings within 8 weeks of the day of departure we reserve the right to modify or cancel the holiday. In which case we will let you know immediately and offer either a modified holiday or alternative holidays. If they are not acceptable we will return all monies including the deposit. If a holiday has not achieved the minimum numbers when you book we will let you know and hold your booking as provisional until minimum numbers are achieved. We will then confirm the holiday and your booking as a firm booking. We strongly recommend that you do not make any non-refundable or non-changeable travel arrangements until after the holiday has been confirmed.

Transport during the Walkabout Holiday.

All transport to and from walking venues is arranged by Walkabout and is included in the price. Transport costs to visit places of interest arranged on request are not included in the price.
