You don't need to have any prior experience of hiking or remote hiking and the small group size will enable us to give you our full attention throughout the weekend, ensuring your safety and enjoyment is our number one priority.

We will then head back to the accommodation before having a shower and heading to a local pub for dinner and drinks **Day 2 – Sunday:** We will arise early to give us as much time on the mountain as possible. After breakfast we will have another trip briefing and safety discussion before packing the car and heading out to **ascend Scafell Pike**. After the hike you be transferred to the railway station for your train back to London. Glowing and rejuvenated after a relaxing weekend spent in nature (expect to arrive in Euston at c.9pm) \*\*\* **DIFFICULTY:** This trip is designed to be a **moderate** 2-days in The Lake District.

MAJORCA mountains and coast, a long weekend of hiking and winter sun
Fri, Nov 6, 8:00 AMSHOW YOUR INTEREST BY CLICKING 'ATTEND' the actual booking page will be posted in a few months. If you are still interested then, I will repost it. You have asked for it, it is back! Jon is going abroad again and you are coming with me! Let's go to Majorca Before travelling there for the first time a couple of years ago, I really, really was not interested. I usually do not like places famous for holidays. And then I travelled there in November, and what a shock! This island is a marvel with incredible beauties, the architecture is outstanding, imagine these perfectly clean beige houses, churches and cathedrals that seem to be a natural extention of the nearby mountains and beaches. Imagine as we take an early morning bus on our first day and arrive in an exquisit town between the Mediterranean Sea and the mountain range, we start climbing slowly for about an hour, walking through the cobbelstone streets of an ancient mountainous village before we reach for the mountain top where we are likely to be welcomed by some of the few hundreds of vultures with their over 2 meter of wingspan flying right above our head or one of the many booted eagles that inhabit the area. And the food, I know you are a foody like me, so,... let's not even mention it. The hikes are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. And the best thing, close to no tourists in autumn! How amazing is that? I travelled around the island under 20 degrees in late November and only saw one other hiker... and a sheperd who caught me in a very embarassing position... I might tell you the story if I dare... This is now my 10th trip abroad with my hikers and I got to learn that putting too many difficult hikes in a trip is too much, so this time, there will only be 1 semi-demanding hike which will be on day one. the hikes after that will be easier and I might even give you some alone time to enjoy yourself. DAY 1: Depending on what time we arrived, we might take a visit of Palma de Majorca before diner and enjoy a walk in the forest that surrounds the capital. DAY2: This is the big hike day, we will take a bus to the beautiful town of Soller. We will climb to the mountain top, through an amazing village for some amazing views of the coast and mountains. The hike is quite demanding so we will take our time and have a good rest on the top while waiting for the vultures and eagles to come and say hi. The way back down will be as beautiful as we descant alongside a beautiful gorge. DAY 3: On our third day, we will wake up a bit later and head for a coastal hike that I still need to choose from, the views as you can imagine will be spectacular no matter which one I choose... You will then have free time before we head for our last diner in Majorca. DAY4: Depending on our flight time, we might just enjoy the hotel pool or have a nice walk nearby, but by experience, I know that people usually like to rest on day 4 of a hiking trip. PRICE: About £470, TBC, without food (Except breakfast) and flight, I will need to work it out. 1 night in a hotel is about £100 per person. FLIGHT: I will give you plenty of time to book your flight and they can be cheap as long as you book in advance. INCLUDED IN PRICE: \- 3 nights stay at a nice hotel with a private room\, I will see what is available but I usually go for 4 stars with a pool\. You can choose to stay with a friend or partner in your room to cut the hotel price by half but I would need to know long in advance please\. -Airport transfers in Majorca if you arrive and leave at the same time as we do -Return public transports in Majorca -Breakfasts at the hotel -My costs( Hotel, flight, food, transport, luggage...) -My fee -A fabulous time with the world's loveliest people NOT INCLUDED: -Flight(They start at £50 return) -Food(Except breakfast) -Anything not mentioned above HOTEL: TBC POLICIES: 1: This group is designed for the pleasure and enjoyment of all of us, we do not accept any derogatory comments or behaviours towards anyone. Racism, discrimination and other unacceptable behaviours will only lead to your rejection of any of our trips and this is without exception. 2: This trip is refundable up to 30 days before departure included.(Except flight) 3:In the eventuality that our trains/buses/flights are delayed, or cancelled which is out of my control, I do not pay for taxis or alternative route. Be aware that would anything out of my power happens, I might have to shorten or change a day trip and find an alternative activity. This is why you need a travel insurance. By signing up to my events, you agree to this. 4:It is your responsibility to look after yourself and your own safety, I am not responsible for people's behaviour but please ensure that you follow my instructions, especially in mountainous areas and cliffs or in the sea to avoid any severe issues during the trip. I thus decline any responsibility in any accidents that might occur, especially if you do not follow my advice. Do not walk off the path, keep at least 2 meters between yourself and the cliff edge when possible and do not swim in dangerous water. By signing to my events, you agree to all of the above.
