There is a Youth Hostel in Ingleton, and another 2 B&Bs in Austwick, theres many a B&B in Settle.....but most prefer to be a little nearer. I have reccyed these once, and have said so in my first proposal thread.

Although cancellin the option for 6-9th July, you also have to think about this scenario....do we reallly want to just opt for a field, without alternative accomodation, thus removing some 40 odd potential orgers from our event?
Also do we really want to be told to be kept quiet by teachers who are responsible for 40 school children using the bunkhouses on that particular weekend?
It wouldn't remove 40 odd people Lou.

If you have 6 B&B rooms, so long as the people that want them know that and book early, then they'll be fine. Most of the people chose the B&B option purely because it was there but have happily camped in the past!

Personally, I'd just start a new poll, put up when the dorms are and are not available and then allow people to make a new, informed choice, but make a short poll to be timely!
