Introduction
Read the latest issue
Hello …and welcome to the autumn/winter issue of The Journey. Shorter days, thicker socks, nothing much to do: this is the dreary reality of travel in England and Wales once summer is over. We jest, of course (but you knew that) — the colder months are absolutely primed for adventure, both indoors and out, and in this issue we’re looking to underline why.
From ideas for staying cosy in winter to suggestions for great hostel hikes, the following pages contain features, interviews and how-to guides for people looking to make the next few months both memorable and uplifting. Wildlife lovers, cyclists, walkers, families and history buffs are all well catered for.
We also speak to our Executive Director and Acting CEO Louise Platt about what the future holds for YHA, and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. It makes for a fascinating and insightful interview.
On top of this, you’ll also find the usual news, reviews and competitions, plus Let’s Go!, our pull-out section for young readers. Wherever you are, and whoever you are, we welcome you warmly to these pages.
Happy reading, and happy travels.
