Did you know that recent research by the University Colkege, London, as published in the ‘Transport and Health’ journal, has shown that people who take regular trips enjoy better health.
Loneliness it seems can impact on our health. It increases our chance of suffering from depression, dementia, obesity, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
So where better to combat loneliness that to come on a good trip with like-minded people. With plenty to see do and converse about you will make new friends and gain a new lease of life!
There’s still time to join us on our wonderful trip to Yorkshire next month, Mar 27-31. So what are you waiting for?

What’s holding you back?
Fear of Covid? - We can minimize risks, but If you waited for it to go away entirely, you will never travel again. It is going to be around for a long time.
Fear of travelling alone? - Then come on a group trip like mine. You will be in good company and make new friends.
Worried about travel formalities? - No need, all the hard work is done for you and you will be told what you need to provide yourself, if anything.
Worried about the cost? - All my trips are extremely good value, mostly with dinners and excursions included. They are keenly priced in the first place, and you could chip away at the balance by paying in instalments if it helps.
Worried about walking difficulties? - While not everything might be doable for you, we would ensure that there is plenty of content that is.
Too old? Age is not a barrier so long as you are either self sufficient or have someone to assist you if need be.
Here’s what one of my group, a ‘single’ traveller has emailed me recently:
“As it is quite a while since I have been abroad, I feel pleased to know I am in your group and being looked after!”
This says it all.
Ain’t that the truth!
Have you got itchy feet?
You can scratch that itch by coming on one of my trips…..
How about a couple of days exploring Liverpool 18-20 November 2022?
