I recall staying in the youth hostel in Elton (Elton Hall was it?) when on a hostelling holiday in August 1967 with my girlfriend Angela Chapuis. We had a lovely time walking between Ilam Hall, Hartington and Elton youth hostels in idyllic summer weather. Somewhere I still have some photos from that trip.
