Friday 24th September – Monday 27th September 2021 ( Bed nights of 24th, 25th and 26th)
Weekend meet in the Cheviots – Mounthooly Bunkhouse, College Valley, Kirknewton, nr. Wooler NE71 6TU.
Coordinator: David Nightingale
Mounthooly Bunkhouse is set at the head of the magnificent, remote College Valley in the Cheviot Hills, on the English – Scottish border. The opportunities for a great day out start immediately from the doorstep.
The bunkhouse is approx. 4 km from both Cheviot summit (815m), the Pennine Way and also Hen Hole crags which offers wild and atmospheric rock climbing, across most grades. Mountain bike routes can also be explored in local forests.
This is one of the nicest bunkhouse locations you could wish for and it is well appointed with a comfy lounge, two shower/bathrooms, large kitchen, hot water and wood burning stoves. I shall be providing a delicious communal ‘Masterchef’ standard meal for all on the Saturday night and organising some light-hearted after dinner entertainment.

Covid 19: The ever-changing Covid 19 rules and regulations of the Government, the Rucksack Club and Mounthooly Bunkhouse, plus ‘no charge’ cancellation timescales, mean that a final decision on whether the meet can proceed will be taken during the week commencing 26th July 2021.
