September Meets

As the heat and languor of high summer subside, the Rucksack Club steps up to offer a busy programme of mountainous activities:

• We begin (6th September) with another episode of our long-running series of High Camps, but this time on a quiet hill on the edge of the Lake District, Whinfell, which offers extensive views over central Lakeland, the Howgills and maybe the Isle of Man!
• A week later we have two simultaneous events: a joint meet with the Wayfarers and Yorkshire Ramblers in the Robertson Lamb hut in Langdale and a do as you please meet in our Welsh hut, Beudy Mawr (12th-14th). 
• On Saturday 20th, members will attempt to complete the orienteering challenge created by the late renown climber, Joe Brown, whilst he taught at the White Hall Centre near Buxton in the 1960s.  Succeed or otherwise, it’ll be an invigorating day out around the Goyt Valley.
• We end the month (26th-28th) with another visit to Beudy Mawr to enjoy the last of the summer sunshine – or the first of the autumn frosts. A communal dinner is on the agenda!
