This lodge is an extremely comfortable place to stay and use as a base and all the rooms have ensuites, there is a communal kitchen and plenty of room to social distance if you need to. As in previous years, I will have several leaders to take walks on each day so you can choose who you might like to walk with and the grades range from 2 to 5.
