I can remember seeing it up for grabs, over three years ago, what a shame the Youth Hostel association do not have that kind of money to blow on a new premises.
Even though the weather there, can be especially challenging from October onwards, its proximity to the Pennine Way, would make a great Youth Hostel.
£900,000, sounds a lot, but when one takes into consideration its past history, location, and popularity, its not that hefty a price tag.
On first acquaintance with the building, back in 1979,i always thought it strange there was this snowcat parked outside, maybe owned by one of the local farmers, but once i put two and two together.
Its in one of the most isolated spots in Northern England, and boy does it get frisky weather.
