We originally booked the bunk house for the weekend, Friday and Saturday nights, but as the\u00a0accommodation was\u00a0available the previous week, some of our members we able to get a couple of extra nights going up on the Wednesday and therefore lots\u00a0more walking.<\/p>\n
High House is a superb bunkhouse, located at Seathwaite, accommodating 20 people in two large dormitories, a well stocked and good sized kitchen and comfortable seating area with a wood burning stove for extra cosiness.<\/p>\n
Because of the extra days we were able to get more walking in and\u00a0different groups chose different walks.\u00a0A total of 15 members attended the event.<\/p>\n

The weather was on the whole very good although it was very misty on Saturday morning following rain during the night and very windy on the tops. Again there were a couple of different walks undertaken, those who had arrived on the Friday night opted for a walk up Grains Gill, half the group took the path over Glaramara (783) whilst the rest carried on down Langstrath, meeting back up in the pub at Stonethwaite before returning to High house. A very enjoyable 13 mile trip the weather improving as we went. We had a group meal and a good social evening on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
After cleaning up the bunkhouse members dispersed, some directly\u00a0home, others got in another short walk, I and a few others walked up to Castle Crag\u00a0where we got some fantastic views down into Borrowdale and a nice cup of tea before taking the motorway home.<\/p>\n
