Thurlby Hostel

Thurlby Hostel, Lincolnshire

Mike

Described as a homely hostel with a lovely garden, this recently refurbished hostel was a 15th century forge and is in a peaceful setting in an unspoilt Lincolnshire village. There are several walks nearby, including Thurlby Fen nature reserve. The Wool Churches, built with the profits of the local mediaeval wool trade, are a local attraction.

For those who like cycling, Rutland Water offers 23 miles of mostly traffic-free cycling along the water's edge, riding through woodlands and open countryside. Either bring your own bike, or hire for around £15.

£28 deposit to book your bed.(Total cost of the weekend will be about £45).

 


Wednesday 22th November

Committee Meeting

We will be trip planning for early summer and organising Wednesday evening activities for January.


Wednesday 29th November

Rapidough

Helen B

A bit like pictionary, but without the sketch pad. Model clues in soft dough for your team to guess the words on the card. When your team wins a round, you have the pleasure of taking away some of the dough from the opposition, making it more difficult for them in the next round. No great skills are required!


Note: Unless otherwise stated, Wednesday events start at 8.30pm at the YMCA in Victoria Road, Chelmsford
