Equipment checklist

We provide ...
... all standard cutlery and crockery items, washing-up liquid and tea towels.
... each bunk has a waterproof mattress and pillow, and there are also a few blankets.
... a BT payphone - you probably won't be able to get a mobile signal on our premises.

Each of you will need ...
... all your own food and drinks.
... sleeping bag (or sheet and duvet), pillow case, torch (recommended), toiletries.
... waterproofs and stout footwear if you're going out.
... some 20p and 50p coins if you wish to use the payphone (minimum charge 40p).

And please remember ...
... we don't have the power for hair dryers, etc., but we do have limited 230v AC power to charge laptops and phones.
... we do not encourage extra usage of the forest track, and most roads in the area are narrow and winding.
... the nearest shops are 10 miles (16 km) away in Cleator Moor, and the nearest pubs are 5 miles (8 km) in Ennerdale Bridge.
