This thread holds all the information you need about Friday night's accommodation and food at the Royal Oak Hurdlow. I will start other threads over the next few days for the other accommodations.
Booking Information
I have upped the booking to 13 bunk beds and 5 camping in 4 tents. I have paid a deposit of £105, being for 7 bunks beds. We are in two rooms of 8 beds so there's a few more spaces before I have to up the booking again. The balance of the fees and the camping needs to be paid by 1st July. I will be in touch with the campers separately about payment, but basically I will need £8 per tent (unless you have a humungous one).
Bunk House
For those in the bunk house you need to bring a sleeping bag, duvet, or a blanket with you. A pillow, pillow case, and a bottom sheet are provided. The kitchen is very small and only really suited to making tea and coffee and heating up a meal or two. Please see below about meals. There's no big communal space in the bunk house so for socialising we are in the pub, the pub garden, or the Vaders' tent.
Check in is from 4pm and the booking is in my name - Austin Winckler. I will be travelling down after work with an ETA of around 7.30-8.00. Checkout is by 10am but we will need to be well gone by then.
Meals
I have provisionally said we would eat at the pub and we will need to order from the set price menu - I suggest we go for set Menu A which is a mixed shared starter and a choice of the most popular main meals. £15.50 per person.
http://www.peakpub.co.uk/pages/groupsetmenu They have asked for our order about 1 week before we stay. I will start asking for menu choices around about then. To give everyone time to arrive I have taken the late sitting which should be served about 8.15 to 8.30. Let me know if you want to make other arrangements for evening meals.
I also said we would notbe having breakfast at the pub. I thought we would make an early start to re-meet at Jellies for breakfast and to allow anyone else to join us who isn't staying at the Royal Oak and also make Jellies the official start of the run. I haven't done proper timings but would have thought we need to be away from the Royal Oak by 8.00 to 8.15, Jellies is about 10miles/15mins away and we need to be aiming to leave Jellies by 9.30.
General Information about the pub, the bunkhouse and the campsite is on its website
http://www.peakpub.co.uk/ There are tabs on the website for specific information about accommodation, food, location, and so on. Make sure you have read and understood it all.
Finally the landlord did remind me that the bunkhouse and the campsite will have other people, including families staying so we need to be considerate, but he did go on to say that groups of bikers are some of his favourite groups as we generally have the right sort of attitude.
I suppose the other purpose of this thread is for you to let me know if you are OK with the arrangements as above and what if anything else you want.
