| 12 | 13 | 14 All day 14/04/2018-15/04/2018 https://rucksackclub.org/event/craigallan/ A sincere apology for all those confused as to my cunning plans – clue in the heading. Part of the reason for the confusion is that I have been busy negotiating favourable odds for the weekend with the Lake District sun gods – and they have offered me very favourable odds!! So all are welcome to join me at our Lake District retreat for a fun packed weekend. The “plan” is to be a free spirit and do your own thing. That said I plan a walk on Saturday (roughly the Dunnerdale fell race route) but hopefully at a fraction of that pace. Un bon repas (meal anyway) is on offer on Saturday evening for all those that can let me know of their intentions to scoff by Wednesday 11th. (please bring own refreshments). Sunday (weather permitting – ie not too hot to move) I plan to sample the local climbing delights at either Dow or Wallowbarrow crags. Hope to see you there………………. Dave Woolley [Co-ordinator]
