Could Carrock Fell make a Comeback?

Filed under: HostelsChris Hunt @ 3:25 pm

We’ve already seen the re-opening of Skiddaw House, could Carrock Fell be set to join it one day? According to the Times & Star, one Brian Thompson has been labouring mightily on behalf of the Maryport Boys’ Club:

Mr Thompson has spent the winter doing up the old youth hostel at Carrick Fell[sic], which will be used by his members this summer.

If Carrock Fell has not become a private house (as I’d always assumed it would have done by now), but is actually still set up for group accommodation, maybe the MBC could be persuaded to open it to other groups? Well, it’s just a thought…

    I wonder just what “doing up” it requires. Adrian the warden always used to keep it immaculate.

    A lick of paint can hide a multitude of sins as YHA is finding out at the moment with it’s buildings. With modern building regulations, DDA etc it can very costly, very quickly.
