Hut location
See a map here.
Getting to the hut using public transport
- Fast trains link Lancaster with London, Manchester, Preston and Scotland, slower trains also head East towards Leeds etc..
- From Lancaster, you can get a train towards Barrow, get off at Ulverston.
- Stagecoach run a decent service from Ulverston up to Coniston, and you'll then need to walk the last bit up the hill to the bunkhouse.
- For exact journey times, try using the Traveline website's journey planner.
- I (Paul C) will pick people up from Ulverston on Friday afternoon/evening by car. Sign up below with preferred time and I will try and come up with a time that suits everyone.
