Once again HF Holidays is sponsoring Walk the Wight on Sunday 18 May 2008. This is the largest sponsored walk in the South and walks across the breadth of the Isle of Wight raising money for the Island’s Hospice which cares for over 800 terminally ill patients every year. In 2007 over 5,000 people Walked the Wight raising over £217,000 towards patient care. It is a lovely walk across some of the Island’s most beautiful hills and countryside, predominantly on footpaths. For further details and registration please visit the Walk the Wight website.
For the sixth year running HF Holidays was on hand to offer advice and help to outdoor enthusiasts to choose their holidays at The Outdoors Show, at the Birmingham NEC, on the 14-16 March 2008. This year's Outdoors Show was bigger and better and HF Holidays presence was no exception.
We staged an enlarged stand where visitors could pickup copies of our latest brochures and chat with members of staff and leaders about possible holiday options. The spring issue of our HF Holidays Magazine and NEW Outdoor Holidays: adventure breaks for families brochure where also available and well received by all visitors.
For the second time this year we also sponsored the Walking Wall, where guests could share their favourite walk whether in the UK or abroad. You can read some of the suggested walks by viewing pictures taken from the show. Also, on the Outdoors Show website, visitors had been adding their favourite walk and photo. The 10 best photos where chosen by the Head of Marketing and entered into a compeition where visitors to our stand where asked to vote for their favourite photograph. The photograph which won the most votes was taken by Gary Roper who wins a seven night walking holiday for two at any of our 17 Country House accommodation in the UK. His photograph and favourite walk is below
"Starting from Ambleside in the Lakes; walking over Fairfield to Patterdale, with my eldest son Joe and our energetic collie, Tess. This picture is looking down on Grisdale Tarn after starting the ascent from Fairfield, with the path to Patterdale in the background. Fantastic day out!"
Visitors who voted where also entered into a prize draw and three winners where drawn at random at the end of each show day. Our congratulations go to the following visitors who each win a superb three night walking holiday for two at any of our 17 Country House accommodation in the UK:
Friday 14 March winner- Miss S Stewart of Bedington
Saturday 15 March winner- Ms H Blahova of Hove

In addition there was a second stand providing information on becoming a walk leader with HF Holidays. Existing leaders where available to chat about their experiences and provide advice on how to apply. A second prize draw was also held to win Salomon rucksacks & HF Holidays goodies. The competition was drawn on Monday 17 March and results posted below. Our congratulations goes to the following winners:
