Clapham is available in Jan atm. £16.50 a night plus £3 for quilts and towels if required. (Not including breakfast). Appears to be well thought of.
What do people think say Jan 29/30th?
I would propose that we book individually and ask for sole use discount if we fill a bunk room etc. Note this hostel is popular with groups of cavers and can fill quickly.

The local pub is the new Inn. (which also has a posh bunk room for up to 7). Dining looks interesting, but pricing levels reflect this. Note the trenchers (for two) at £60! Don't know if they do bar meals as well but no reference to this on their web site.
