Local Attractions

The Hut is less than 10 minutes drive from the Peak District where you can enjoy Climbing on cliffs such as Stanage Edge, White Edge, Curbar Edge and many more.

As the map here shows, we are very close to the valleys of Hope and Edale, an area which offers fantastic walks and hikes, with most of the hills within Terrain Zero (i.e. below 500m). With the start of the Pennine Way at Edale and the famous Kinder Scout about 30 minutes drive away, you are never far away from some challenging walks and beautiful scenery. There are also many walks that start and finish at 'The Hut'.

'The Hut' Facilities

Designed for and used by Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts 'The Hut' is never going to find itself with any star rating. However with the donations made by those using 'The Hut' for parties and weekends we are slowly able to make improvements to the accommodation.

There are no bunks or beds, so air beds or camp beds are recommended. However the main Hall (pictured below) is approximately 11m x 7m and can accommodate 20 people comfortably (more if you prefer to be cosy). There is also a smaller 'meeting' room that can take about 5-6 people. Both rooms are heated effectively by wall mounted convector heaters which are controlled by a timer and thermostat in the main hall. There are two separate toilets, one suitable for people with mobility problems, and there is a single shower as well.

There is a Kitchen equipped with a Hob, Oven, Fridge, Microwave, Kettle and basic cooking equipment. Utensils can be provided on request.

There is an area behind 'The Hut' suitable for outdoor cooking or bar-b-que's, which includes a purpose built shelter for those rainy evenings.

A large field behind 'The Hut' which belongs to the local Health Authority Sports Club, can be used for football and other games.

Local Facilities

There is a choice of two shopping centres approximately 5 minutes walk from 'The Hut'. In one direction there is a Tesco Express, Petrol Station, Laundrette, Chinese Takeaway, Indian Restaurant / take away, and the nearest Pub which serves food and a large selection of Real Ales.

In the other direction there is the village of Fulwood with a Co-Op (late shop), Butcher, Greengrocers, newsagent and off licence.

There are several places to eat within a few minutes drive, and a choice of Pubs to relax in after your days' activities.

The local Church, 'Christ Church Fulwood', who sponsor our Scout Group are only a couple of hundred yards along the road and hold three services on Sundays. Normally at 9.15am, 11am, and 6.30pm. For more details about their activities and services click here for their web site.

Costs

The 142nd Fulwood Scout Group uses all money given for the use of 'The Hut' on maintenance and improvement of the building. This improves the environment for the Scouts and for those using the place for other activities. This will also help to ensure the continuation of Scouting in this area.

Currently, we are grateful to receive £10 per hour for events and parties held during the day or evening, and £3 per head per night for weekend accommodation (Min £24 per night per group).

Climbing Groups

The Scout Hut is popular with climbing groups due to its proximity to several good climbs and indoor climbing walls.

We have created a separate page with links to 2 day weather forecasts at well known climbing sites close to the Hut, and some other links of climbing interest as well. To go to that page click here
