Black Sail youth hostel - venue for the Guardian Northerner's first Bloggers Weekend - is the place I have been fortunate enough to call home for the last two years. My partner, Martin, and I have recently come to the end of our second season as wardens there. Having cycled away from Ennerdale for the last time, we can now reflect on our time in this remote corner of Cumbria.
