Update
Since i received no response to my request for possible numbers to stop in one of the youth hostels, during this walk, that option is now 'closed'!
We'll be stopping in Side Farm Campsite (cost £6pppn) after the T junction at the White Lion.
The walk will carry on as planned on the sunday, starting with striding edge (to wake people up).
