Organisers

Malcolm and Diane

Cost

£63 inclusive of supplement for 2 nights in shared private dorms, with exclusive hire of the hostel. Includes free tea, coffee and milk in self-catering kitchen.

Activities

We have exclusive hire of Lulworth Cove on the Dorset Jurassic coast. After checking into the hostel on Friday evening, we plan a short evening walk from the hostel down to Durdle Door which is probably the most famous stone arch anywhere in the world. It was created when the sea pierced through the Portland limestone around 10,000 years ago. Returning to Lulworth via the coast path.

Saturday: The 10-mile walk will take us to the lost village of Tynehame which was evacuated in December 1943 during WWII and has been deserted ever since. The area was needed for military training but after the war ended, the villagers were not allowed to return. You can still see some of the original buildings at Tyneham - The Row was a row of four terraced houses, numbered from the higher end nearest the church. Both the restored church and school buildings are still intact and have exhibitions about the village and villagers. At Tyneham Farm, some of the outbuildings have been restored. In Tyneham there is a picnic area where we will have lunch before making our way back to the hostel.

Sunday: After leaving the hostel there is the option to visit the Kimmerage Museum of Jurassic Marine Life and also visit Kimmerage Bay to look for fossils on the beach before making our way home.

Refreshments

Hostel has a self-catering kitchen. Bring own food and drinks. You will need a packed lunch for Saturday's walk.

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.
