Does anyone remember CHA (Countrywide Holidays) from the 1970s?

I was trying to describe these to my DH. They were walking holidays where you stayed in run-down beautiful buildings, a bit like a Youth Hostel.

I think we went on a few (or possibly with HF which was similar). One trip was to a big old house in Cromer. It rained a lot.

We did a few when I was little and I think they were lovely!

We went on similar called HF holidays.

I look back with fondness too. We went to a wonderful building called Kinfauns Castle that became a posh hotel. I learned Scottish dancing that week - but it did rain a lot. Right through our Kagouls.

I had a yellow Kagoule and it was a nightmare to get on and off. The wedm rubbery feel. Bleeeuuurrgghh.
