Our latest tale from the boot room is a story of adventure and discovery. Jo and Jamie tell of their time spent in Madeira and the adventures they undertook to uncover the secrets of this island. “We arrived at Funchal airport at around 9am after a very early start to be greeted with bright blue skies.

Groups News - September 2017
The month ahead is a peak travel month for our groups team with 100 groups and 2,500 group members arriving to enjoy the more comfortable autumnal walking weather at our HF country houses. The majority are now filled to capacity but there is still limited opportunity to get away yourself this month if you aren’t travelling as a group. Look out for our ‘triple treat’ offer for all last minute departures during October. Why not treat yourself (three times) after all the hard work you’ve done this year!
