aka First Annual Northerner (or from @pmac 's viewpoint, Midlander)
Having spent a weekend at Hornby Laithe (see below) I thought it would be a good venue for a “Lopwell North” and I’ve booked it for the weekend of September 14th to 16th 2018. There will be 36 places at a cost of £30 each for the 2 nights.
The bunkhouse is about 2 miles north of Settle, and a couple of hundred yards down a track from the road. The owners (nice folk) are in a house at the top of the track.
It has a lounge with comfy seats for 17 and room for stacking chairs as well. The barn outside has an upper lounge area with sofas for 22 and again plenty of space for smaller chairs. The barn lounge has several table games (table footy etc) and there is a table tennis table below with plenty of space around.
The dining room will seat about 40 and could have a system in as well. The kitchen is quite well-equipped.
No fire pit outside but a BBQ area with tiered levels and seating on all. We’ll have to keep outside noise down after 11 because of a campsite just up the valley, but there’s plenty of room indoors.
There’s a pub 800 yards away if anyone gets desperate.
Great Dales scenery, walking and cycling (on and off-road) from the door, climbing and caving for the more adventurous. Plenty of less energetic attractions too with Settle, show caves, a falconry centre and railway nearby.
Sleeping is in bunk rooms of varying sizes, with pillows provided but you will need to bring a sleeping bag and towel. If you want to be alone you could camp in the adjoining field. Camper vans can be parked just outside the barn.
Questions, volunteers for kit and cooking, and definite interest below please.
Edit 16/1/18 -
Photos in posts 77 & 78 below. Great that the main list filled in 24 hours. I’m sure that there will be some drop-outs so if you’re still interested then sign up on the reserves bench.
Cheers,
Dave
