Our circular route will start near Leck Fell House above the village of Cowan Bridge on the A65. We will explore the dry riverbed of Ease Gill, its sinkholes and cave entrances, climb to the trig point on Crag Hill (682m) and then follow a high-level circuit of Great Coum (687m), Green Hill (628m) and Gragerth (627m) before returning to our start point. If the weather’s fair we’ll be treated to extensive views of Whernside and Ingleborough, the Lake District, the Howgill Fells and the Lancashire Coast. Meet/park at 10.00 am at the informal parking area close to Leck Fell House where there is limited parking GR SD 674 789. Leave the A65 at Cowan Bridge and follow sign for Leck. Keep on the lane through Leck and follow the single track fell road for three miles, to a parking area where the road ends a few yards before Leck Fell House. To book a place on the meet: please email David: david.nightingale321@gmail.com or text/phone 07584 933 844.

A search for premises close to the Kinder/Bleaklow area proved fruitless but then Herbert Carr, Hon. Sec. of the Climbers’ Club and former Rucksack Club member, suggested Tal y Braich Uchaf, a small farmhouse near to Helyg, the CC’s new hut in the Ogwen Valley. A lease was signed in February 1927 and we are fortunate to have in the archives Keith Treacher’s unpublished history of Tal y Braich covering the next seventeen years.
