A few days early but here goes!
Last year we tried a few things out that had not been done before and they seemed to work, so they are in for all this year!
Wives girlfriends lovers partners all welcome
Attend one or two days walk on the first day run on the second
Day one meet 12 noon for a walk to England's highest mountain via a few other lumps, for those who cant walk meet the George 9 pm then beer! then Loft last year a few hardy souls made the loft 2 days in a row i for one aim to repeat this fine act!
Day two Run, the run this year is the beautiful St Johns in the Vale, approx 10 mile 2000ft on the return there is an additional hill if you need the climb meet as always 10 am moot hall or sewage works 10.30
half way round surprise will be on again with a twist
The meet will be at 7 pm on the Saturday night meal booked for 8 pm round town then loft!
With reduced admission the catch phrase this year is "i only shop online for beetroot"
i would be honoured if you would attend either one day or two or just the curry and beer!
Sorry guys im going to have to pull out of this :(
Got an interview at UCL and then am gonna head to shropshire for a Long Mynd reccy
Have fun you lot
Happy running
Toying with the idea of splashing out for a B&B this yr (living the dream!). Which B&Bs have others gone for, and how much?
Think you got mixed up with the number of sleeps and the dates. Xotf is 17th dec 'we' decided the best bet was the sat directly before Christmas as the vintage year of 2007 being the 23rd was cutting it that little bit too fine!!Quote:

Softlad... You on for 1 night or 2? I'd get ringing around direct to b&bs as they can be funny about just 1 night stays...dont bother with the 3rd party thing youll get more luck avoiding that route!
Just the one, fair point. I'll get on the blower tomorrow.
I've got the details of a few places to try. I'm gonna call them tonight, but before that, who's hosteling? And have you all tried to get an XOTF suite sorted?
If the company's that good, I might not even bother with the B&B/hotels.
*Getting very excited!!*
The Edwardene takes singles but I'm not sure about one nighters. Charm is a great thing!!Quote:

[QUOTE=southernsoftie;377281] but before that, who's hosteling? And have you all tried to get an XOTF suite sorted? QUOTE]
I,m plannining on contacting Hostel we were in last year (Denton House) to see if they have room, I will ask about a suite :D for our lot but they were a bit cheesed off last year when a fair few didn't turn up!!!! and did not inform the hostel!
I stayed there in summer too, and they asked for deposit up front to avoid this.
Will post info as I get it......has anyone else booked in yet....and mentioned XOTF
Auld Ken
Andy, are you in YHA or Denton House??Quote:

cheers.
Hi,
I've had chat with Mick at Denton Hostel and booked me sell in for the Fri & Sat evening.
He has put me in the warmest room, Skiddaw, I have told him a few of us are attending XOTF and he says he will stick us all in the same dorm if we want.
Ken (NB)
Andy (H ) Sat, only
Mark (DD??)
Also Han.......if ok with you???? He says its the warmest and as its quite large you would fit in there with a bit of privacy if you wish.....no problem though if you want to be boring in your own room tho'
He said there were a couple of others booked but I didn't recognise the names!!
Ken
Hi Ken
Cool, sound's good to me, cheers, I'll be there:)
Also thinking of going up for a day out before then, any ideas on a shortish trot out, (weather dependent) the friend I'm with can't run a long way etc but she's ok,
Maybe around 7 or 8 miles ish? is there a nice circular route or something? that would be great, I'll investigate anyhow, also need to find a nice place to get a meal.
Thanks and see you for the XOTF :)
Andy.
Andy we are all going for a walk on the fri if you and your friend are interested meet at seatoller 12 noon we set off late to keep out of pub, it has not worked yet but at least we tryQuote:

I'm looking at going up for one day, the week before the XOTF.
Andy.
The week before OMG you could stay the whole week and attend the Loft every night now that would be a record that would never be beaten you would become a god of XOTFQuote:

16 sleeps!
Torn between the Lincoln House B&B and Denton House. Only reason I'm hesitating was that I didn't like having to wait until I got to the services on the way home for breakfast following last year in the hostel, and after all that, the service station brekkie weren't that nice.
So any reports on Lincoln House (I got the name by trawling through this thread, so presumably someone's stopped there)? Is it worth it?
Either that, any fine Breakfastmongers in Keswick I can hit before hitting the road that might sway me towards stopping at Denton House?
Yours, indecisively...:rolleyes:
