The entrance is on the A6 900m SE of the roundabout in the centre of Bakewell. Meet at the first hardstand parking on the right by the first payment machine. Or park where you like and meet there anyway.   Wednesday evening climbing: Awesome Walls, Stockport from 6pm. Weekend: Two days from Hayfield. Andy Howie writes: Saturday: RC Navigational Challenge Starts & (hopefully) finishes at Bowden Bridge Car Park in Hayfield (GR SK 049 869) at the Junction between Kinder Road & Edale Road with interval starts from 9.30am. The course will be a series of Checkpoints around and about “Kinder” and her kindred fells. Maps, with Checkpoints marked and zip-seal plastic bags provided. The course will be 12 to 18+ miles depending on the participant route choices and how many checkpoints they visit. Those taking part can compete alone or with others as they wish, all will require appropriate kit[…]

Next year’s island meet will not quite be on an island, but almost. I’m booking the Knoydart Foundation Bunkhouse at Inverie for 3 nights. It holds 26 and at the moment I have 18 ‘on board’. We get there by ferry from Mallaig which has a number of sailings each day to and from Inverie. If there are 8 more interested in joining the trip I can book the whole bunkhouse which would be at a cost of £15.50 per night each. So if you would like to come along (and perhaps bag those 3 remote Munros) please let me know asap on email: andy.lou64@virginmedia.com Thanks Andy
