I have access to an outdoor centre (Longrigg) just below Sebergh( J36 off the M6)

It usually works out about £13 a head per night, sleeps up to about 30.

Close to the Lake District, and on the doorstep of the Howgill fells( dont know exactly waht the riding is like in the area!)

If there was enough interest would be happy to arrange a weekend up there !!!

Jason you might like to talk to one of the committee, they can give you lots of advice and guidance on organising a Cyclone away trip. I am sure the Lakes will be very popular.

I've used Longrigg before as I know Rob, Head of Centre and have taken my students there a few weeks ago. It is £14.50 a night and we have to use it as a working house, so we have to buy all our own food and prepare it. Facilities include a fully working kitchen, living room, dining room and dorms. I can use the minibuses for transport. There are some classic routes around the centre as it is near the Howgill Fells and has easy access to the Lake District and some quality rides, particularly High Street, Garburn Pass and Grizedale Forest. I'm thinking of arranging a trip up there next Easter or Summer.
