New Year's Eve - Ambleside Social

Over New Years Eve and New Years Day we hope to have a couple of walks on both days for members to sign up for but for New Years Evening we'll be meeting up to spend the night celebrating the past year and the New Year to come.

DETAILS 

Evenings

New Year’s Eve – If we can meet from 6-7pm in the breakfast dining room (room to the right as you walk into the hostel).  There is a bar in the hostel which you’re supposed to use, so just be a tiny bit sneaky if your drinking your own!

Just after 7pm we will be heading into Ambleside which is around a 10 min walk there are plenty of pubs / bars in the town which are open with several having late licences until 2 / 4am for the party goers!  I would imagine all the bars will be very busy so we’ll walk down Lake Road and ideally go to the ‘The Lily’ ‘Churchill Inn’ and ‘White Lion’ in that order depending on how busy they are, for the New Year celebrations we’ll head to the Ambleside Tavern.

I would advise you eat before or during the 6-7pm, there is food served in the hostel, a self-catering kitchen, chippy 5 min drive away or restaurants / bars in the village serving food.

Sunday & New Year’s Day evening – If people want to meet in the bar area at 7pm for whoever is staying over in the YHA.

Pretty tame walk over 8miles to try and get rid of the hangover.  The walk takes in some famous sights including Loughrigg, Grassmere, and Rydal, with one of my favourite view points Loughrigg Terrace.
