Skylark Holidays

A weekend break to introduce you to new terrains and landscapes and to get advice on clothes and gear you'll need for your walking.

You will stay in Derby which is a Great Place and a Great Base for a variety of guided walks in the lovely Derbyshire countryside. The walks are designed to introduce you to getting started in walking. The routes will be chosen to whet your appetite for different terrains and you'll have the chance to kit yourself out.

On the first evening you will be taken to the specialist outdoor retailer, Blacks, where their friendly and helpful staff will be on hand to give you advice on the latest range of clothes, footwear and gear. They will provide information to help you choose and also assist you to get the right fittings. And, to help get you started in walking, Blacks (Derby store) will give you a Discount should you decide the buy anything.

The walks over the next two days will be used partly as a shake down for your kit and partly to build your experience outdoors. You will be picked up from your accommodation and transferred to the start of a walk where you set out along the footpath at a leisurely pace that suits all abilities. Each day the group will discuss the choices available and decide with the Leader where the group will go. A variety of walks will be available including a level walk following the River Derwent to the old inland port of Shardlow, or a trip into the National Forest to promenade along the glades, or circumnavigate Carsington Water along well surfaced paths.
