The cheque has been paid and I have the keys to Chateau Milkhope. I think Bill might be staying there by himself the night before but he was a bit scared

bill-scott · Post by **bill-scott** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 10:17 pm

I wouldn't stop there by myself would you ?
have you seen the hills have eyes

bill-scott · Post by **bill-scott** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 10:21 pm

Hi John do the bunk house users need bedding???

John Wallis · Post by **John Wallis** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 11:38 pm

They did ask if you were using a bunk to take a sheet to keep the mattresses clean? I'm just taking my sleeping bag and the midgy net for my head. I think as long as we don't spew on there beds it'll be OK.

Just to say we are privileged to use this place as it is very much on trial to public clubs and we have been invited back

Graeme · Post by **Graeme** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 5:02 pm

I'll be there. Looks like it's a tent for me then - unless anyone doesn't mind sharing a bunk

Graeme · Post by **Graeme** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 5:04 pm

Thinking about it I'll stick with my tent

RonDon · Post by **RonDon** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 6:56 pm

Funny thing that, Bill I was speaking to a old lady a short while back at Clennell and she was telling me long time ago the people chased a"Werewolf" up past Milk-hope farm,but they never caught up to him he just--"Disappeared"

Funny thing that, Bill I was speaking to a old lady a short while back at Clennell and she was telling me long time ago the people chased a werewolf up past Milkhope farm,but they never caught up to him he just disappeared.

Tell you what I was convinced someone was following me up the stairs today

The window shutters were on and it was quite dark walking up the stairs it's a very eerie place to be by yourself.

Anyway Milkhope is in splendid condition they have done lots of work on it since we were there last. Bill here's a link I've made for you to start the Genny as you'll be there before me due to my work committments

Instructions to get there again are drive to Rothbery straight on heading for Alwinton just before Alwinton take a right signposted Clennell Hall continue but don't turn into Clennell Hall set the trip on your speedo and travel 3.7 miles on the track for Kidland Forest only one turn which is a right hand hairpin Milkhope is on the left with a sign saying NHPC

If anyone want's to go up a little early and help Bill set things up I'm sure he would be glad of the help Im stuck at work until 5.30 and can't get out of it.

Hey Ali my kids are looking forward to keeping yours occupied

AngusB · Post by **AngusB** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 10:25 pm

Bill, if you need a hand I'm free all day so I'll follow you up or pick you up, whichever is best for you.

bill-scott · Post by **bill-scott** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 9:07 am

Im taking the van heading off about 10am so should be thete adout 12ish if you want to follow me angus in case you get lost

Post by **chrisfozz** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 3:36 pm

some of us are planning to do a mountain bike ride, probably a 7 to 8 mile loop round the local area. There are some good trails there. if you wana go, be ready to set off from Milkhope at 2.00.
