Climbing, walking, running, cycling, eating, drinking - Ravencrag Cottage, situated 100 metres behind the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel - at the head of Great Langdale - is ideal for all of these activities. Being a liberal kind of guy I don't mind which you do.

Ravencrag itself is immediately behind the house - you can climb, come in for lunch and then go and climb again, it's that close.

The KMC has 24 places in the cottage for the weekend of 19th/20th June at a cost of £9 per night. Full details of the cottage can be found on the BRCC Web Site.

I will be there from 1700Hrs on the Friday to let people in.

With regards to parking, three cars can be parked in front of the house. There are four passes for the National Trust car park next to the Old Dungeon Ghyll on a first come - first served basis. In addition the car park is free to National Trust car park if you are a member.

Travel Directions:- From Ambleside take the A593 towards Coniston and turn right at Skelwith Bridge onto the B5343. Continue along this road through the villages of Elterwater and Chapel Stile, past the New Dungeon Ghyll hotel, and one mile later turn right into the drive leading to the Old Dungeon Ghyll hotel. Follow the drive to the right of the hotel which leads up behind the hotel to Raven Crag.

Please let me know if you are coming.
