Just back from a routine warden visit to Beudy. Various items of lost property. I’ve found homes for most of it but there are the following that need claiming:- – pair of ‘Contour’ approach shoes, size 44 (they have been there for months); – navy blue hooded fleece, size M (Warby?); – pair of Haglof overtrousers; – pair of running shorts; – pair of running socks; – OMM waistpouch; – a towel with ‘Manchester City’ on it. If not claimed before the end of October, I’ll dispose or donate to charity. Not the City towel though – I’ll use it to clean the car! (only kidding – I know what you Citizens are like).

Hi All, Please don’t be put off by the meet title, I’m hoping the wet bit will be underneath us, not on top!! This is my plan so far. Thursday 5th, Stay at Craigallan Friday 6th, Drive to Bonawe on Loch Etive, load the boats and start the trip about midday. Paddle along the loch to camp on the East shore under Ben Starav, plenty of walking and exploring nearby. Camp here Friday and Saturday nights. Sunday 8th, paddle back to Bonawe. Please get in touch for more detail or advice. Mike Hartley

Well done with the design of the new `Rucksack Club website!

Hi, Join me for a week cycling from Craigallan starting 6th April 2018. Travel light, no camping gear necessary. Max 60 miles per day. Biggest ascent in a day 400m. 1 train, 4 ferries, 1 lighthouse. Best take waterproofs though, after all it’s Scotland. And mudguards please. Details in a spreadsheet from me…..

Looking to putting on a couple of midweek evening Caving meets in Derbyshire. Caves will be level 1 standard (walk in). Looking at 1 in November and then maybe 1 in January probably, Thursday evening. Any one interested cheers Wilf

A quick update, I have received 66 applications so far and booking forms are available on the new website. Please let me have these back by 20th October so I can inform the Hotel of numbers and menu preferences.

The committee of the Rucksack Club wishes to establish the above post as a matter of priority. If any member of the club, has experience of marketing/communications and social media, has time to spare and would like to be involved in this exciting project, please contact myself or John Farrow, Rucksack Club Secretary.

… and of course there’s still time to sponsor him in support of the Club’s “unofficial charity” The Christie at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jakeoughton

The bit of software that auto-generates the email informing you of new content was upgraded today and appears to have a bug. All of you will probably have received one or more email(s) with the wrong name on them. Sorry! and an even bigger sorry to Alan! I’ve put in a temporary work around until it gets fixed so you won’t get anymore with the wrong name. Ian
