For their 2021 Walking Weekend, 18 members of the Clevedon Social Walking group assembled at the Peveril of the Peak hotel for a couple of days of walking and sightseeing.

With the effects of Covid still lingering, it was not to be expected that the full activities of a HF Walking weekend would return, but there were fewer restrictions on movement and no threat of lockdown to endanger the holiday.

The HF hotel was bright and welcoming, and this year everyone was accommodated in the main building, even though the rooms we were in were spread far and wide over all the floors. The dining room was large and spacious, if a little noisy once all the groups dining got into full conversation, and the food was excellent and the staff attentive and helpful.

We had three tables reserved for our group to dine at, and before and after the meal we could meet in a cosy nook at the end of the lounge for drinks and general chit-chat.
