Come and join us for a cheeky weekend away in marvellous Malham. Tucked away in our own bunk barn just 2 minutes’ walk from the village, we will see the sights of the Yorkshire Dales by day and enjoy the local pubs or board games in by night. Arriving Friday evening and leaving anytime before 10:30 Monday with a drive time of just under 2 hours makes this trip the ideal weekend away.
Activities
A walk programme will be provided closer to the time. With great access to the Yorkshire Dales and being based on the Pennine Way there are plenty of options for those who want a challenging walk. For those looking for a more relaxed weekend there are some stunning local walks from Malham to Malahm Cove, Gordale Scar and Jannet’s Foss.
We will hold a gathering at 9pm Friday to review who wants to do what to make sure everyone is doing something they enjoy.
Accommodation
We have booked Hill Top Farm Bunkbarn for exclusive use from 17:00 on Friday 17th June to 10:00 Monday 20th June. Accommodation will be bunk beds in rooms of up to 6 people which will be split by gender where possible with a maximum of 23 spaces. The price you pay will vary depending on how many people you wish to share with. There is a combined lounge, dining area and kitchen.
It is located in the lovely the village of Malham, which has a café and a couple of pubs in easy walking distance but no shop.
For those who do not want to share accommodation or wish to camp, there are several places you can self-book in the village. If you choose to camp I would recommend Riverside Campsite, Malham. If you do book your own accommodation, please let me know so I can keep track of numbers.
Food
For those staying in the bunk barn, we will provide a frozen pizza dinner on Friday so you can eat when you arrive. A simple, continental breakfast will be provided on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday night we will look to go to the pub for dinner or people can choose to cook in. Tea and coffee will also be provided.
If you have any dietary requirements, please let me know at the time of booking so we can come up with a plan that works for you.
Food is not provided for those who book their own accommodation.
