Lancaster - New Year 2012/13
A few of us were chatting at the recent lakes jolly about the possibility of a similar weekend away around new year.
We thought of maybe booking a hall similar to the one at Watermillock, or maybe a chalet type thing that sleeps quite a few. A bit like The Shining with decent ale.
The venue is, as yet, undecided (although Nick suggested the North York Moors, which sounded good to me), the date will be around new year but we can thrash that out later. We need a rough idea of numbers and then we can try and get somewhere booked.
Who is with us?

Re: Proposed Jolly - New Year 2012
Anymore takers? I know Evil Dave and Jane are up for it too. Captain Jazzmag?
I've been having a quick scoot round the web and a lot of larger cottages (which I think was an idea mooted about) are already taken for New Year so I think we need to book something sooner rather than later unless we want to go for a last minute deal?
Thoughts on what people want please, can't say I can get them all but I'll give it a good go.
Other locations?? Peak/Lake District too?
Ideally in near reach of a pub and with public transport nearby so if people go walking others can get out and about too to a local town or something? Alternatively flat walking also a possibility?
I'm used to organising things but not for you lot, so if preferences aren't raised, no whinging at the end!

We might be able to host something in Hebden, BUT we want to have some work done on the house, so can't commit in case we don't have any spare rooms / bathroom!

Re: Proposed Jolly - New Year 2012
Any more takers for this then?
We're going to have to get something booked pretty soon.
Any ideas on where? I still like Nick's NY Moors idea - where was it you stayed, Nick?

The Lion Inn on Blakey Ridge is a great pub with rooms and a camping field. But in January it might be a little nippy for camping!

Re: Proposed Jolly - New Year 2012
I've been doing a bit of mooching to see what's about. Most places don't let you book short stays until four weeks before so this may be our best bet to get a good deal?
Other choices are Watermillock and somewhere Nick mentioned. I'll keep hunting though. How many days are people wanting to go for? Monkey and I thought it might be quite nice if we had a big traditional dinner one day (prob not NY Day due to hangovers etc?!), poss NYE?

Too flat and too far North?
Anyone fancy Jedburgh? If so we'd have to get in quick - this would be for four nights (they're doing a three for the price of four at the minute) from 29th. It would work out about £95 each for four nights

Re: Proposed Jolly - New Year 2012
We are up for it - a change from Watermillock would be good IMO, as it is the middle of winter a proper B&B would be favourite I think.

Re: Proposed Jolly - New Year 2012
Still up for it here, but Jazznag's working between Christmas and New Year. Might be limited to evening of 30th/New Year's Eve/New Year's Day.
