Holiday Weeks

Epping Forest HF Group

GROUP HOLIDAYS

HF Holidays Ltd has 19 houses of its own in the UK and uses hotels throughout the world - see HF Holidays Ltd elsewhere on this website

Each year the group has a holiday in Britain in the Spring. The advantage of group holidays, apart from walking with friends, is that we gain a small group discount on cost, and some evening activities such as a quiz, board or paper games, or local events are arranged. We may have around twenty five people in a party, and in recent years, have been away from Sunday to Friday.

We travel by coach, picking up at Gants Hill, and Hawkey Hall, at Woodford Green, although members are free to make their own way to the holiday. We aim to arrive in mid-afternoon, giving time to explore our surroundings and accommodation to get our bearings before dinner.

Since 2010 the group has visited other areas of the country not covered by HF for our spring holiday, including Weymouth, the Malvern Hills, Forest of Dean and Sidmouth, using selected hotels. Full day walks, or shorter strolls with sightseeing are offered, described in advance with distance and amount of climbing involved, and chosen before setting off in the coach to the start. There is also some flexibility for planning a personal day out, provided the leaders are aware of your plans and transport, for safety.

HF houses offer full board, selecting our own packed lunch contents each morning. Hotels are close to shops making for easy organisation of lunches,accommodation is half board with en suite rooms, and there is sometimes a swimming pool available.
