March Meets

March is another busy month for the Rucksack Club, with a meet every weekend:

• We begin (6-8 March) with a visit to the Midland Association of Mountaineers’ Glan Dena hut in Eryri for a planned 18-mile walk around the sites of historic former Rucksack Club huts in the area: Cwm Eigiau, Tal y Braich Uchaf, and Tyn‐y‐Shanty.
• The following weekend (13-15) the venue changes to our own hut in the Scottish Highlands, Craigallan, for winter walking and climbing – or whatever the weather permits. This is a joint meet with the Karabiner Club. 
• The next weekend (21-22) we have a gargantuan walk in the traditions of the Rucksack Club pioneers. This will take us from Colne to Rowsley, timed to celebrate the centenary of its first completion. The pioneers started at 4.15p.m. and finished at 7.45p.m. the following day – with very sore feet! We’ll do well to match their pace. 
• Finally in March (27-29) we return to Craigallan for another chance to enjoy winter conditions, this time with the emphasis on walking.
