Something a little extra to the UKBEG 2012 events diary
... Come and get your toga and sandals dirty in the hills of the Northumberland National Park over the weekend of Friday 24th to Sunday 26th February, staying Friday and Saturday night at the 'Once Brewed' hostel.
The hostel is located in the middle of nowhere on the rather splendid B6318 'Military Road' which runs alongside Hadrian's Wall. This picturesque area is packed with Roman history and contains some great roads.
Accommodation could be described as basic, but at least it's dry, warm and comfortable.
Example room prices:
1 room with 4 beds = £29.95 per room, per night.
1 double or twin room = £23.00 per room, per night.
Non YHA members pay a supplement of £3.00 per adult, per night.
The hostel has a restaurant which provides a yummy
cooked buffet breakfast for around £5 per person and they can offer an evening meal. The hostel is also fully licensed. If you want to be really cheap you can always self-cater - there's an excellent kitchen.
We can't guarantee good weather in late February, in fact it will probably be pants and you'll get your bike or car dirty, but who knows, you may get lucky....
