Returning to Matthews Linn via the forest trail, with evening meal at Tarset Tor. After dinner it’s a walk to the pub or a visit to the observatory.
Friday 31 March, after breakfast it’s a free morning with maybe a trip to a local attraction or the coast for a few hours before heading back to Gateshead for 3 o’clock (approximately).
Evening meals, for the Wednesday I’ll be cooking a Moroccan style lamb tagine served with a Mediterranean vegetable couscous and on Thursday it will be the much celebrated hearty Italian Farmhouse Soup with a selection of cold Italian meats and olive bread.
Breakfast, served on Thursday and Friday morning, a traditional full English Breakfast, but not Kippers. Coffee, Tea, Toast and fresh Orange Juice.
Packed Lunch, you will need to bring along something for Wednesday, and build one from a selection of ingredients, bread, ham, turkey, cheese, crisps, fruit, biscuits, fruit juice etc. on Thursday.
Accommodation, for this excursion I’m booking the larger 4 bedroomed bunkhouse, in order to provide a larger communal lounge, kitchen and dining area.
Drinks, please bring along something to enjoy during the evenings. The nearest pub is the The Hollybush, with its dodgy domino set it’s a dark walk away of just over 1 mile.
Other Stuff, you will need to bring a towel and a maybe a bath robe as the bathroom in the bunkhouse is not en-suite. Torches,as it’s a dark walk to the pub.
