OutdoorLads returns to the stunning YHA Langdale for North Christmas 2016 with last year's top organising team giving you another event to remember! Located in the heart of the Lake District we'll have some of the best walking and views in the country.
YHA Landgale is a truly magical place to stay. This sprawling Victorian mansion is steeped in history and perched above its own three tier arboretum that’s managed by the National Trust. Its labyrinthine corridors and ornate grandeur captivate most guests. Langdale’s enviable location is unmatched with stunning views including the Langdale Pikes, Loughrigg Fell and rolling views all the way down to Lake Windermere and Bowness. This is a Youth Hostel from which the central fells can be explored and enjoyed immediately upon stepping through the front door.
When you arrive we'll make sure you have some mulled wine and mince pies!
What to bring
In addition to the walking gear, you will need clothes for the hostel (obviously!!), towel and wash gear. We would also recommend your own pillow just for extra comfort :)
Food & drink
The usual OutdoorLads buffet will take place on Friday, so please bring an item but don’t go buying enough to feed the 5,000. Why not make something at home and bring it, home made stuff always goes down much better than a Tesco quiche!
On Saturday, we will fill your stomachs with 3 courses of festive food. The menu below:
Starter – Rudolphs Rocket Fuel Soup with Ciabatta
Main – Full Turkey Christmas Dinner with Traditional Accompaniments (dietary alternatives will be available)
Dessert - Festive Crumble or Christmas Pudding (we haven’t quite decided yet) with cream or ice cream
You will need to bring your own lunches for activities on Saturday.
Tea and coffee will be available for the duration of the event.
