The RA and the YHA have launched a joint project as part of the Ramblers Routes project. The deal is that someone who has completed the Ramblers routes training creates two walks from a youth hostel. They get a free bed night. Then the routes are checked by another member, who also gets a free bed night.
I have created two routes (numbers 3100 and 3143 on the Ramblers routes project site. But I didn't use my bed night. I have asked the YHA to give my free night to the checker. So you could get two free nights or two of you could share a double room for one night, for free.
If you are interested contact gemma.petty@ramblers.org.uk. The project needs to be finished by the end of September, when the hostel closes.
