Easter Weekend
Easter in the Howgills
A large group of members enjoyed the Easter break. The weather was perfect, being warm and sunny for much of the weekend. Longrigg Residential Centre, 1 mile from Sedbergh, provided excellent accommodation and it was especially pleasant to relax on the patio in the sun and take in the fine view of the Howgills across the valley. Various walks were organised to suit all needs and we had the hills largely to ourselves, this area happily escaping the numbers that flood into the nearby Yorkshire Dales and Lake District.
Two communal meals were organised and I would like to thank all who helped with the purchasing and preparation of the food and those who generally "mucked in". On Sunday evening we had a group meal at the Red Lion and were impressed by the quality of the reasonably priced food and the service.
The fine weather continued into Monday to round off what I think we all considered to be one of our most successful Easter holidays.
