We offer a £1.00 per person per night discount for bunkers who arrive without a car – either by public transport, bike or on foot. When you don’t claim it, we collect it for a local charity
We’ve collected for various causes over the years but this has to be the most our bunkers have contributed so far. So a big thank you to all those contributed. Our next cause will be one that is close to our hearts. Last year, All Stretton experienced an extreme weather event on September 26th. Severe rain caused flooding throughout the area and for us, it took the track out up to the bunkhouse and outside it. It also brought down 200 tons of stone off the hills behind the bunkhouse. Luckily, neither our house or bunkhouse were damaged or flooded and we have spent the year making sure it doesn’t happen again – you will see the protection we have put in when you visit. Thanks to the local community rallying round, the bunkhouse was up and running within 48 hours although for safety reasons we did re-house our soggy bunker (ironically a Dutch Water Engineer) in our local pub!
So – for the next year, we will be collecting for the All Stretton Flood Group which was set up and been working with other Stretton flood groups to commission a survey of the area and see where we can best help everybody in the Strettons to be safe ( and dry!) without spoiling our environment.
