Join the OutdoorLads at this summertime bunkhouse weekend in Sheen !

Come and spend a chilled weekend with OutdoorLads in this stunning quiet corner of the Peak District. There are great views, lots of wildlife and a multitude of fantastic walks right from the doorstep - and a lovely courtyard in which to relax on a Summer evening!

This is a two-night hostel event from Friday 8th August to Sunday 10th August.

Converted from a gritstone barn, this is an independent, very smart and cosey bunkhouse ! It has a spacious lounge with smart TV, comfy sofas, central heating, and a spacious outdoor area with plenty of seating / tables. There is a well-equipped kitchen / dining room and good quality washing/showering facilities. 

This area of the Peak District is easily reachable by public transport and offers fantastic walks with breathtaking views of the Manifold Valley and Thor’s Cave at Wetton, as well as nearby attractions like the spa town of Buxton, Hartington, and Wolfscote Dale.

Overview of the weekend: 

Friday evening will involve welcoming members to the hostel and ensuring everybody is settled in properly. We will have a buffet-style dinner, and the leader will complete the hostel briefing, providing details of housekeeping and plans for the weekend. We can use this opportunity to discuss our hopes and expectations for the weekend.

After breakfast on Saturday, there will be the opportunity to take part in a walk and explore the area in more depth. 

Upon our return, we will enjoy a relaxing evening meal. 

Later on, we can enjoy a fun evening together. Take part in a quiz perhaps ? and enjoy a game of cards and Farkle. If you wish to bring a board game/card game etc, these would also be welcome.

On Sunday morning, we are able to enjoy a leisurely breakfast together! After we tidy up and wrap up our packing, we can take a delightful walk and have lunch nearby. For those interested, we can also pop into the charming local café for a treat!

 

Sleeping Arrangements: Fourteen good quality bunk beds in two dorm style rooms, with plenty of storage space. Bedding is provided. Please see 'what to bring', below.
