In 2024 we returned to Thornbridge Outdoors, near Bakewell, staying in the Lodge
which was a purpose built cabin that had large bunks and plenty of room and was
popular. The weekend was filled with walks, climbing and chatter! Stuart Bloom
from Sheffield RR led a walk and joined us for the Saturday evening meal, followed
by a quiz. The treasure hunt around the local area, ably organised by Jon Marsden,
had so many anomalies making the scoring contentious in places but enjoyed by all.
Noise in the dining room aside, this was a great venue in many ways, with very
comfortable bunks.
Several attendees were having big birthdays so plenty of cakes were supplied for a
get together organised by Becky Bates. Gill Cox and Gil Platt provided the evening
meals which seemed to go down well, and Gill’s three course meal was outstanding.
