The Bradford Pothole Club's
Headquarters, Brackenbottom is a traditional Dales longhouse located in the
hamlet of Brackenbottom, near Horton-in-Ribblesdale
The Dump is very
well equipped, with a Changing room, Toilets and Hot Showers; Kitchen;
Common room; Two mixed sex alpine-style bunkrooms, plus one men only and one
women only bunkrooms; Library; Tackle store; and a dehumidifyer equipped
drying room. The downstairs rooms are underfloor centrally heated. Members
have lockers to store food etc.
In addition, we also have a pressure washer for washing gear or bikes (or particularly dirty cavers !), a rope washer, and a separate garage for storing larger items, bikes etc. To try and keep the dump fit for human habitation, we have a 'task system' where everyone using the place is expected to do a small houskeeping job, such as cleaning a window, a work surface, a floor or some other similar job. Each job only takes five minutes or so, but if everybody does one job, no one has to do them all ! Club members staying at Brackenbottom; 'Dump Dwellers', usually meet in the Helwith Bridge or the Golden Lion in Horton, (five minutes walk from 'home') on Friday nights, so if you're interested, call in for a pint...or three. Guests wishing to stay should book in advance in order to check availability. Please book early as we have guests staying most weekends. Please book by email if possible. In case of problems ring 07765978804 or 07748254789 The contact for Brackenbottom enquiries is Judith Harrison Spam cloaked email link-please click and then manually remove 'REMOVETHIS from the address')
