Summer has gone, dark nights are here and Xmas is on it’s way. It seems a good time to plan another Harriers weekend away. After the apparent success of last years event I have decided to take the reins again. The dates this year will be Friday 6th December and Saturday 7th. These dates have been chosen because there is again a fell race on the Sunday morning, which was popular with both competitors and spectators last year. The race is only 20 mins away and on the route home.
The venue will be the Youth Hostel in Haworth, West Yorkshire. Some of us have already stayed there this year and can recommend it. It is a lovely large rambling building, close to the beautiful Bronte countryside and within walking distance of a good pub. (much nearer than last year) See the link for more details

The prices per night are as follows; £11.50 for YHA members. £14.50 for non-members and £13 for U18’s. Breakfast is £4.99 and should be ordered when booking, to give them an idea of numbers.
Booking can be done online or by free phone 0800 0191 700. If you state that you are with Macclesfield Harriers they will try to ensure the ladies are roomed together as will the gents. As the hostel is quite large, there is no great urgency to place your booking, but don’t leave it too late.
