Remembrance Day Weekend in Lakes November

In case you haven't spotted it, I have posted an invitation for the Remembrance day weekend in November.
This will be based at the YHA in Borrowdale although B&Bs are also available.

The polan will be to meet up Friday night (or Saturday morning).
We will do a walk on Saturday. We will probably have a couple of options.

A get together Saturday evening and an early start on Sunday morning to get to the top of Great Gable before 1100 in time for the service.

This year I am giving plenty of notice and hope that we can accommodate as many as are interested in partaking.

There will be a number of walk leaders so that we can have reasonable size groups to keep everybody safe.

Christine9421 A polan is a small white furry creature native of the Arctic and was introduced to the Lake District several years ago as was, the grey squirrel. They look very similar to a ferret and Yorkshire men have been known to put them down their trousers when walking the fells to keep their bits warm.

trekkie 16/08/2013 16:12

Anybody still thinking about joining us please try and decide soon before everywhere is full.
If you have any questions , doubts, need clarification, hand holding etc then just drop me a line, either here or via email.

Hi just noticed Tinks has pointed out that theer are two beds available in a ladies room for the weekend.

I am pretty certain that means two more ladies.๐Ÿ™‚

Youth Hostel must be getting pretty full now, so if you wish to come along then contact the YH and get your name down.

Little Miss Sunshine (Max) 08/03/2013 16:36

Will do Trekkie ๐Ÿ™‚

trekkie 08/03/2013 15:56

I did notice that you can book a room for two for ยฃ25 per night. less discount if you are a member so it comes to ยฃ9.50 per person per night just for the room. ยฃ38 for two people for two nights,,, might sell the house and live there.... a steal

TC 08/03/2013 15:28

Hi Tinkerbell, I have booked a room - have messaged you to explain. It is for me and someone who is not on the site but am not sure if she will be coming or not.

Tinks 08/03/2013 15:00

Hi TC have you booked a bed or a room

TC 08/03/2013 14:35

Me too
In 1999 I was on Anapurna on Remembrance day with a lady who survived the war because her family hid her under the stairs as a baby. Her little brother and father died but she survived. We stood on the mountain as she remembered them. Very humbling

BustaGut (Grant) 28/02/2013 19:20

It's a long way off but I'll express an interest now<img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />
