Tranearth Hut - There is public parking at Crook Corner (4 cars), the village hall, and outside the Wilson Arms, but cars can get quite close to the hut up Crook Lane. Follow the tarmac road up and onto the old drovers track as far as the first gate. Just through the gate there is a flat area on the left. Parking is limited and it's a bumpy old road. It's about half a mile from Crook Corner to the hut.
Outdoor adventure holidays, development training courses and outdoor activity days. Based at Grizebeck.
