It’s set to be a hot one this weekend in the Lak It’s set to be a hot one this weekend in the Lakes, who’s joining us and if not why not? What’s everyone’s plans for the sunny weather, a spot of wild swimming or just soaking up the sun?
We have so many wonderful groups return year on ye We have so many wonderful groups return year on year, some have been coming over 30 yrs, Bens Lot are only 7 years in and we thought we would let them tell you about it in their own words “Once again, “Ben’s Lot” - a group of 17 midlife male hikers enjoyed fantastic hospitality at Elterwater Hostel for our annual visit to the Lakes. It would be hard to overstate Charlie’s and Andy’s efficiency, warmth, good humour and sheer hard work which again made our stay comfortable and hugely enjoyable. All the facilities in the hostel are first-rate (this year the excellent drying room was a particular blessing!), and the food is both plenteous and delicious. It is a true gem of the Lake District’s crown: we’ve booked for next year already! Thank you”
New Era at Elterwater Hostel!We’re thrilled to New Era at Elterwater Hostel!We’re thrilled to welcome Antony Moore as our new manager!
