Register

When is it?

Friday 19th - Sunday 21st April 2024. Arrival 3pm onwards.

Where is it?

Kettlewell Campsite (http://www.kettlewellcamping.co.uk/)

I've spoken to the owner of the site and he said that short wheelbase campervans are welcome and can be booked online by selecting the 'Standard pitch' option. Motorhomes and caravans are not allowed I'm afraid.

What is it?

The (very loose) plan is to meet on the Friday night in one of the village pubs for dinner. On the Saturday we'll head out for a substantial walk in the beautiful Dales. The route has yet to be confirmed.  Saturday night we'll head back to the pub(s) and then leave Sunday morning.

Who's it for?

Everybody! It might be a long walk on Saturday but it's spring and we won't be in any rush. We'll definitely want to take some lunch with us and sit for a while to admire the views.

What do I need?

  • Waterproofs – It's Yorkshire, you'll need a waterproof jacket at the least

  • Thermal clothing - Fleece layers, hat and gloves just in case

  • Good footwear - Comfortable walking shoes or boots

  • Food and drink – We'll find a nice place for a picnic

  • Money for food & drink in the pubs

  • Camera equipment and a means of keeping it all dry should the day take a soggy turn

There is a possibility that it'll rain but we really don't care as some of the best walks are rainy-day walks and we'll go ahead regardless.

However if we're hit with storm conditions and there are travel problems then we might need to reschedule it to a different weekend. Keep an eye on Patreon for any announcements nearer the time.

This should be a fantastic weekend away in the gorgeous Yorkshire Dales and I'm very excited to see you there.

Thanks very much,

Glenn

p.s. I have no insurance for hosting an event for a group of people so on that basis we're just meeting up as friends and going for a walk and a few drinks 😁
