All places have now been booked for this meet. I have booked spaces in this hut https://www.frcc.co.uk/venues/birkness/ for the nights of Friday 27th and Saturday 28th March 2020 to walk the Newlands Circuit on the Saturday. Leaving the hut at 8.00am, this walk will start and finish at the hut. We will be heading up Robinson straight up the path across the road behind the hut. From Robinson we’ll go to: Hindsgarth; Dale Head; across to High Spy; Maiden Moor and Cat Bells dropping down NW into Little Town. Then we go back up onto Causey Pike; Scar Crag; Sail; Eel Crag; Wandope; Whiteless Pike and back down into Buttermere village and then along the road a short distance back to the hut. I hope most people will do the full circuit which is about 23 miles but it is possible to cut the route short either by dropping down to Honister from Dale Head or by stopping in Little Town, but you’d need to sort your own transport to get back to the hut. I’ll provide a meal for Saturday night. There are only limited places available – 10 male and 7 female, so please book on early to[…]

Ben Llewellyn is coordinating a meet of (roughly) a figure of eight route taking in the Edale Skyline and a loop around the Woodlands Valley of 39 miles. Meet at the Mam Tor carpark to start at 7 am before heading over Mam Tor, Lose Hill then Win Hill, up onto Kinder and along the northern edge to Mill Hill, Pennine Way to Bleaklow Head, turn east to Alport Head then down the ridge over Alport Moor before crossing the A57 after Rowlee Pasture, back up onto Kinder and along the southern edge to Kinder Low before finishing over Brown Knoll and Rushup Edge. Please let Ben know a couple of days before if you are planning on coming along.

There are still some spaces available on this Meet 15th – 17th March, if you would like to attend please email me, new & associate members and guests all very welcome. I will be doing a walk on the Saturday but there’s also lots of opportunity for cycling and climbing. I will be providing a meal on the Saturday night. For those that have already booked on the Meet I will send location details etc. on Tuesday. Jean Llewellyn

If you fancy exploring a slightly different part of North Wales then come and join me on this Meet. I’ve booked The Mynydd Club Hut in the Crafnant Valley (http://mynydd.org.uk/hut-information/) for the weekend. I’ll be organising a walk on the Saturday plus there’s also lots of great bike trails and climbing in the area. I’ll provide a meal on the Saturday evening, but please bring your own liquid refreshments. Places are limited so I’m posting this advance notice so you can book on early to reserve your place: j.llewellyn27@ntlworld.com
