April | April | April | April | April | April | 1 - Pembroke Weekend
All day 01/05/2022-02/05/2022 Co-ordinator: Jack Helliwell I will be arriving at the campsite in Bosherston on the Thursday night (28th April)
and staying until the Monday (2nd May), please join for as much or as little as you
like. The campsite is just down the road from the St Govan’s Inn and very close to the
Range East crags. Although – given the location – I expect this mainly to attract
climbers, all are very welcome. I’m hoping to organise a group meal in the pub for
Saturday evening. Get in touch if you have any questions, and remember, it’s always
sunny in Pembroke

| 12 | 13 | 14 - Bells Wells Revisited (in memory of Geoff Bell)
All day 14/05/2022 Co-ordinator: Jo Wallis Start at Shepley Street in Old Glossop at 8am for the long route or midday for the short route. The long route will be lead by Richard Bradbury and will be taken at a decent pace, aiming to visit most of the wells that were visited on the original walk in 1999. However, the original walk, led by my dad, Geoff Bell was ‘quite a big day out’;a committing 42 miles and 14 hours ‘around Bleaklow and Kinder and back again’. It started and finished in darkness and some were too tired to eat the meat and potato pie my mum, Mary, had cooked. Richard has adapted the long route for this occasion to be around 25 miles, which he estimates will take around 10 hours from an 8am start. An alternative shorter route will also be on offer which I shall lead. My route will skirt Bleaklow then Kinder, starting from Shepley Street at midday. The aim is that we all arrive back at Bank Street around 6pm where my mum will reprise her meat and potato pie (or similar). Please contact me for more details and to bagsy yourself some pie (please let me know by Wednesday the 11th to book the pie). There may be a ‘just pie’ option ….please ask. This revisited walk was conceived on our street, when Rucksackers gathered to pay their respects to my dad. There was no wake..no cheese…no wine. We all simply went home. Hopefully Covid will allow us to Get Out There and enjoy some fond memories.

(The morning section includes a long trespass after the road crossing, and in my opinion should at least be reconsidered. S.W.)
NB:Area around Standing Stones is now be Open Access Land (OS and NE Maps) but seems land owner (Upperwood Estate) is trying to block, a diversion around their land could add up to 5mls – or could stay on East side of A635. B: Coordinator: Debbie Marsh - Stanage Plantation

All day 21/05/2022-22/05/2022 Co-ordinator: Mark Jenneson If Marsden-Edale is the Rucksack Club annual MOT, Laddow is surely its spiritual home. Climbing at Laddow even has its own section in the Centenary Index with thirteen journal articles before 1928. My plan is to set off after lunch on Saturday and spend the afternoon and early evening climbing in the sun followed by a relaxing bivy in the cave. The following morning the plan is to explore another couple of nearby crags-Rakes Rocks and Millstone Buttress (first described in 1938 RC Journal by F. Hewitt and L. Kieran). You will need to fend for yourself in terms of food but i will bring some wine for all who make it. Day trippers are welcome if the cave does not appeal.

| 26 | 27 | 28 - Craigallan 25th (+ 2) Year Celebrations & President’s Meet
All day 28/05/2022-05/06/2022 Coordinator: John Patrick & Andy Tomlinson Since the last edition of Meetstaff, there has been significant interest in our Celebration of the opening of Craigallan and the President’s meet which follow immediately afterwards. At the time of writing 25 people are booked to attend all or part of the event. The hut is almost full for the first part of the week but beds are available from the night of Thursday 2nd of June onwards, as although all campervan places are booked there is space for tents in the garden. Anyone staying elsewhere is, of course, welcome to use the hut throughout the day during the week and to join in any of the three communal meals (Saturday 28th May, Wednesday 1st June and Saturday 4th June). We will send another update to show who is attending to all those involved in early April. By then we hope to be able to confirm a venue for the sit down meal on Wednesday 1st June. The long bank holiday weekend at the end of the event may appeal to those who can not manage the full week so remember there is space in the hut from the Thursday night. Those intending to book other accommodation locally, including campsites, should do soon as it is a busy time of year. Please let John know if you are staying elsewhere and to book a place at any of the three meals offered.
