    I was thinking about booking this place. http://www.visitpeakdistrict.com/thedms.aspx?dms=3&dmsh=2&pid=6008332#Availability It's about 1/2 mile or so from where the camping site and pub is. I decided to camp in the end.

    Thinking about a B&B myself but just wondering if we could organise somewhere we could get several rooms. Would anyone else be interested in a B&B or guest house ?

    B&B would be easier for me but I don't want to miss out on the merriment. If we're off site how would we get to and from the pub?

    Actually it's about 1 mile. I was going to stop there but changed my mind and decided to camp.

    I'm still undecided. If I camp I'll have to buy a tent and sleeping bag,might be a bit more fun though. May go for the bunk barn yet.

    That's what I thought too. Pub - Sleeping bag - pub - sleeping bag - pub - sleeping bag - home.

    If there are a few of us a taxi works out cheap enough but unless there is a bit more interest I think I'll just slum it in the barn. I've slept in much much worse places.

    I'm still up for B&B at the Roseleigh, but another one or two would help with taxi cost.
    Have spoken with a couple of taxi firms they are quoting around £15 each way. Better that
    than getting stopped for DD

    That's more like it - thank you.

    Walk eh, whatever next ?

    Hiking boots test? "Where to get a good compass?"; Map reading for beginners?

    Ok with me. What about you RoadRider ? Twin rooms for 2 nights are £84 - £90 per person. Would need a fourth.

    Update on B&Bs If you don't mind an evening stroll check out Cotesfield farm.
    Just done a deal £50 per night plus they will lock the bike away in the barn overnight.
    They still have rooms left. Maybe cheaper if some of you guys share a twin room.
