The calm before the storm, as we dot watch the Montane Spine Race athletes make their way up the course to checkpoint 4 at Alston.

We’ve had a few people enquiring about use of the hostel during the day, for regular events (we already host the fab crochet group), or one offs such as birthday parties, buffets etc.
We are very open to this and would be happy to show anybody round who thinks the setup might suit.
We have a good sized car park, dining room to seat 25, a cosy snug with sofas and a fully equipped kitchen available for food prep, hot and cold drinks etc.
We can also offer catering services by arrangement.
Feel free to pop down to the hostel or drop us a line and we can talk through any ideas.

Looking forward to these

Great to see a write up of the Roof of England long distance walk.
A very welcome addition to the range of walks in our area, and a well thought through route.
As it passes our steps, we have a good few walkers exploring this one already.
Highly recommended

Looking for an escape to a high place of big skies, overwhelmingly powerful falls and gentle wildflower meadows? Walk The Roof of England.
