Xtreme Dining

Xtreme Dining On Saturday 19th April, a group of Lancaster’s intrepid World Youth Day pilgrims took part in a fundraiser so surreal that some of them are still not sure whether or not it actually happened! The day began in Lancaster at the Pastoral Centre but soon progressed to Hutton Roof, a mountain-top between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. Once there, we proceeded to carry up two tables and accompanying chairs, cutlery, glasses, plates, tablecloths, three courses of food and Trangia cooking stoves. Once the ideal location had been found, the tables were laid, the food prepared and formal dining clothes were donned. It was quite a sight for the passing climbers and walkers! Our ‘extreme dining’ was a sponsored event and despite the cold and the wind that blew the food into our faces and all over the tables, a strange, but enjoyable time was had by all. The only problem was that after a delicious meal, we had to carry it all back down again!Emma Kirby, 18, Fleetwood
