THORNBRIDGE 26th-28th August 2011
Why go to Center Parcs or Butlins for the August bank holiday weekend when the Dark Peak Thornbridge weekend has it all:
- Beautiful camping in the grounds of Thornbridge Outdoor Centre situated next to the Monsal Trail- great to cycle through the recently opened tunnels to Millers Dale or to nip into Bakewell for a coffee!
- Use of luxury classroom (dare it rain), with hot water on tap and fridges.
- Number of exciting events and activities planned for this year:
-
- Whisky tasting (adults only!). Friday night- learn to know what might be being passed round on a Warts nights- who fills up their flasks with classic malts and who buys the supermarket specials…..
- Fell race. 11am Saturday morning the classic Ashford-on-the-water route finishing in the water!
- Kiddies race. Saturday afternoon
- Cake & Cava in the afternoon-bring your favourite cake to share and some fizz.
- Saturday night BBQ and entertainment (?)- club provides some barrels of beer then bring an instrument for a singalong plus follow the deadly pitch black rope course if you dare!
- Sunday morning run up Longstone edge and beyond
- Kids cyclo cross training/event
- Alternatively just chill out and let the kids/adults play and escape the hustle and bustle of the bank holiday weekend!
All Dark Peak members welcome along with their family and friends.
