Sounds good and it is good. Ron and Marilyn really look forward to the Challenge and the lively atmosphere it brings.
As well as the bunkhouse there's good camping in a friend's garden nearby or on the village green (yes, really, it's like Scarp City at times). Even if you're not stopping in the bunkhouse they'll let you have showers and run a tab for settling at the end of your visit. They'll take parcels too.
They've now got an alcohol licence too - not that Challengers would be interested !
I've made it a regular stopping-off point or rendezvous on my way through even outside of Challenge times.

I have used the cafe there, in 2012, and they were fantastic, really geared up to help Challengers. A number of us were passing through, having a rest and a warm, (there were snow squalls chasing me all day!) and I think Phil from Wigan was going to stop overnight. If I was going that way I would certainly drop in or stay there.

A great night was enjoyed by about 2 dozen challengers last year on the Wednesday. Hospitality was exceptional, with a bunk, dinner in the bar, a few beers, a couple of Dalwhinnies , and a shower ; all for the princely sum of £35. They are a lovely couple, and nothing is too much trouble.
