As promised in an earlier thread I have now got a definate date for this cultural and sensitive event.

I have been in touch with the land person and she will be delighted to have us there.

For all those singers, musicians,poets and monologuers intrested in a friday to saturday informal event at the "Station Inn" Ribbleshead viaduct, I can now confirm the date as: Friday 30th Sept to 1st October- or into sunday if you want.

The "Station" is a great pub with fine ales and good food.They can provide breakfast at £5.50 a head or a cook your own breakfast pack at £3.00

There is plenty of room for wild camping, BandB or bunkhouse accomadation also a large carpark for those with vans.



All those interested or need further info post here or PM me so I can get some ideas of the numbers.

OK - I obviously have watched too many episodes of "The Simpsons" because I read this thread title as "Ribhead gathering". . .
Too bad I live on the wrong side of the pond. It sounds like a lot of fun. . . enjoy!!!

If by some stroke of fate there won't be enough bunkhouse beds, what's the facilities like for camping?

I ask because the Green Dragon site at Hardraw didn't have an easily accessible water supply, & only a few portloos.

Will the pub have o/s toilets & tap for campers?

Sorry Muppett – can't make it. It clashes with Tenterden Festival, of which, for my sins, I am dance coordinator! Anyway, I think my Yorkshire visa has expired.
Sounds like a good do though. Have a great time! Perhaps we could both sing 'Settle & Carlisle' at an agreed time on Saturday. Who knows, the vibes created could make Britain a better place……….. mmm, well…
