Activities

Our city break this year takes place in Chester staying at YHA Chester Trafford Hall.

Friday: After check in we plan a 4-mile circular walk from the hostel.

Saturday: We plan a 9-mile walk. Route from the hostel following the road for a short distance towards Mikle Trafford where we will then follow the route of a disused railway into the centre of the city. On arrival we will then make our way up onto the city walls. Chester is the only city in Britain that retains the full circuit of its ancient defensive walls. We will walk the complete circuit giving views down into the city and a fantastic insight into Chester's long history. After completing the circuit we will spend a short time wandering around the town before catching bus X30 back to hostel, journey 16 minutes.

Sunday: After checking out we get the X30 bus into Chester for a stroll around this vibrant city and visit to Chester Cathedral before our journey back home.

Refreshments

Hostel cafe / bar has an array of refreshments and snacks. Hostel offers all meals. Hostel has a very small self-catering kitchen, microwave and kettles. Recommend to bring packed lunch for Saturday's walk, lots of cafes / pubs at end of walk.

Travel

Trains from London Euston to Chester approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes. Bus X30 from station to hostel (buses are every hour). Arranging lifts is an individual responsibility and is not arranged by leader.

Booking conditions for HAWOG events

  • If you submit a booking and your request can be met then you are committed to the purchase.
  • It is your responsibility to know or check in advance the total price per person or room.
  • If your request can be met then you'll receive an email from the organiser informing you of the total price, how calculated, and you'll be required to pay within 14 days of the date of the email. It's your responsibility to remember to check and respond to that email.
  • All places purchased are for a single bed in a same sex room exclusive to our group, unless agreed otherwise in writing by the organiser or you have booked a stated, available room. The number of beds in a room will vary.
  • If you cancel you will only get a refund if someone else pays for your place. Until then, you'll be expected to pay any outstanding balance. It's your responsibility to find a replacement, you can do this by emailing our group and informing that you have a place to sell, and letting the event organiser know. The group will sell remaining uncommitted places first before 'returned' places.

If your request cannot be met then you will be informed of this and what possibilities are available. You may then inform the organiser if you want to be added to a waiting list and/or submit another booking which meets one of the possibilities. A waiting list means you get informed soonest if suitable places or rooms become available, it does not commit you to purchasing them but you will need to confirm, and book, in a short period of time if you want them.

Methods of Payment

Whilst most membership, surcharges and events can be paid for online via our PayPal account, there are a few alternatives for attendees and events where online payment via our PayPal account is not possible:

  • Pay electronically direct to our group bank account.
  • Pay in person at a branch of our group's bank.
  • Get someone else to pay online for you.
  • Ask the organiser of events you need to pay for, if they will accept payment direct to them (and they pay group for you).
  • Occasionally, cash and cheques may be accepted at key events and dates.
  • Cash and cheques may be accepted for a small handling charge.

For all of the above, please ensure the Chair, Treasurer or event organiser knows how you will pay. Please email us for more information.
