Accommodation is in a Bunkhouse on the mainland. This is basic accommodation with bunkbeds and simple facilities. There is an open fire and some storage heating. Further information about the accommodation: http://www.bunkhousenorthumberland.co.uk/


Each day we will drive to the start of the walk and arrange to be collected from the end.

We will have prayer together every day and opportunity for Mass on a couple of the days.
