Ribblehead

[lufcdave7]

We are spending the weekend at the Station Inn (car park) Ribblehead. Cosy in the van, but bitter cold outside.
Thought I would post a little info for those spending New Year up here.
The pub will be very busy New Year's Eve, they have 25 residents in the hotel and 30 in the bunk house. Jo, the landlady said if you want food book early, tel: 01524 241274.
I told her about the Wild Camp meet, she said she would get extra bread and milk in and would offer a warm welcome.
There is no mobile telephone connection.
There is no tv signal, satelite only.
They do have wifi in the pub and pub car park.

To all at Wild Camping have a great Xmas and New Year.
All the best
Dave and Kath.

I'm up'fa fartin' competition. Sprouts on Crimbo day then load up wi' mushy's ready for Ribblehead !!

Shirley (or Shiela or Sharon or what ever her name is!!???) says "are we takin stuff for a BBQ type thingy??!
I will have the 'Beuclaire' (a gas powered hot plate) with us so IF we get a good day we can fire that up.

We also have a large tent which I'm thinking of putting in so we can have an 'Inside area'. Assuming there is somewhere it can go up?

The pub's website says the following:

Dog and Dine!

Regulars to the pub will have met Tetley, our lovable black labrador whose favourite pastime is walking, not unlike many of the visitors who come and hike the hills that surround us!

Tetley has been the inspiration for our Dog and Dine offer - breakfast and dinners included for canine guests in the hotel or bunk barn. We just ask for a donation to the PDSA. Tetley remains chief taster for the Dog and Dine menu and so far no complaints!

So I'm sure dogs are welcome

 

[kimbowbill]

I will spare everyone and leave Henry in the van, he wont behave himself i know that for sure, lol

It's what us from DORE use instead of BBQ's ...... check them out at Beauclaire Barbecues and Accessories.

 

[whitevanwoman]

tonight i have met the whitevanwoman, she has parked her van on my drive, cheeky cow, never even asked,

I knew I shouldn't trust a Yorkshire lass from't wrong side o't pennines

I didn't hear any complaints when the box of chocs was produced... lol, hope you enjoyed them.

Many thanks, much appreciated, especially the late night brew before the drive back. Looking forward to RH, but after having met Henry, I'm not sure that Rigg the pig is...
