Departures: One at a time

RECENT correspondence on single travel has prompted a number of companies to recommend themselves as ideal for the single traveller.

Good Companions Club Holidays (0244 347734) bills itself as 'the great new way to holiday with friendly, mature people on their own'. Losehill Hall Peak National Park Centre (0433 620373), in Castleton, Derbyshire, runs a variety of special interest holidays which, although not solely intended for singles, attracts a large percentage of unattached people. Solo's (081-202 0855) claims to be the UK's leading operator in the singles holiday business.

Readers also recommend Hartrigg Country House (0756 760246) in Buckden, near Skipton, Yorkshire, and ACE Study Tours (0223 835055) for single holidaymakers.
