Our Easter 2025 walking and social break is from the border town of **Moffat**, which is just 45 minutes drive from Carlisle. Moffat was a spa town until 1921 when the Hydropathic Hotel burnt to the ground. The surrounding hills and the local section of the Southern Upland Way provide excellent walking opportunities, while the River Annan is good for fishing. In recognition of the great walking, the town was the first in Scotland to be awarded 'Walkers are Welcome' status.Moffat also takes the title of Europe’s first Dark Sky Town, having adopted special street lighting to keep light pollution to a minimum in order to preserve the wonders of the night sky. There are great places to eat and many independent shops.
Hazel and I have booked a room for 3 nights (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) in the Moffat Independent Hostel - [HOSTEL](https://moffathostel.com/)

If you don't fancy the hostel, there is a range of other accommodation in and around the town. You can easily source a suitable place to meet your circumstances and financial via booking.com or

The area is great for walking and as usual we'll organise 3 or 4 walks in the surrounding countryside. The hills and valleys in the area are green and forested, rather than the ruggedness of the mountains further north. A usual, we'll organise a couple of group meals so people can dine with the rest of the group. Further details closer to the time.
