????MIDWEEK HUT MEETS ????
@ Beudy Mawr / Craigallan / High Moss

Our 3 fantastic huts are not often used mid-week. As we emerge from the shadow of Covid why not take the opportunity to use one of our huts during the week and organise an 'informal' meet. It's so easy to do.

Anybody interested should approach the individual hut warden to book the hut for
the number of places required / or to the maximum occupancy currently agreed.

Then if anybody else makes an enquiry via the hut warden seeking use of the hut during the same period, the warden will direct that person to the member who has made the meet booking.

The meet coordinator will no doubt want the meet to be advertised, if so they can send Andy Llewellyn details which he will put on the website meet calendar and send out a web post. We can also arrange for the notice to go out via our social media.

Please note that the meet coordinator has the discretion to set the terms for their meet,
where they could choose, for example, to include a requirement for full vaccination and/or a negative
Covid test.

Our huts are empty for significant periods of time so if you are free and want to start getting out with other members why not make use of our wonderful huts during the week and 'get out there ....again'. ... See more

????Saturday Yorkshire Dales Meet! ????

When: Saturday 25th September 2021,
What: Western Yorkshire Dales walk – Gragerth and Grag Hill Horseshoe
Co-ordinator: David Nightingale

“Join me for a 10mile, 5 ½ hour, hill walk exploring an enchanting but less well-known area of the Yorkshire Dales, easily accessible from Junction 34 or 36 of the M6.

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.
Before contacting me, could you please read the guidance about Meets that is on the website to ensure you are happy to abide by the COVID-19 regulations.” ... See more

One of the most important benefits of joining a club is the partners and friends you will make!
Jack and Alistair met on a winter meet at Beudy Mawr, our Welsh club hut and just a few months later they were out in the Alps tackling ridges together.

Stanley Jeffcoat on Scoop Face HVS 5a

Joining the club in 1908 Jeffcoat went on to become one of it's pioneering members. In 1914 he cracked the tricky start to Scoop Face at Naze by tackling it barefoot!

Sadly Jeffcoat was amongst many climbers who were lost in the First World War. He left behind a wealth of climbs not to be underestimated 100 years on.

Five years after the Club’s lease of Cwm Eigiau ended in 1921 a sub-committee was formed to find a replacement “in some local climbing or tramping area but not so difficult of access as was the Cwm Eigiau hut or even so far off as the Langdale Valley”. 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.
