Lancashire Walk - Pendle Hill
https://rucksackclub.org/event/lancashire-walk/
All day
03/11/2019
It is a few years since we had a club walk up Pendle so I am organising a late autumn walk up this famous Lancashire landmark. Meet at Chester Avenue car park near Clitheroe railway station for a 9-15 start. At the time of writing the car park is free on Sundays. The route that I intend to take is out by Mearley Hall, then steeply up to the Clayton cairn, along the moor to the trig point and down to Barley. The return route will be by Twiston Moor and Downham. The distance is about 14 miles.
Coordinator: Paul Murray

Annual Dinner, Castle Inn, Bassenthwaite
https://rucksackclub.org/event/annual-dinner-castle-inn-bassenthwaite/
All day
09/11/2019-10/11/2019
After two successful dinners in North Wales I thought it would be good to return to the Lake District and so I have booked the Castle Inn Hotel, Bassenthwaite. I have block booked rooms for our use. They will be allocated on a first come, first served, basis. Please book directly with the hotel. I have negotiated a rate of £90 PN B&B for a standard double room. When booking direct with the hotel mention the Rucksack Club rate. There are plenty of nearby camper van sites, but camper vans are not allowed on the hotel grounds.
Friday evening I have booked Alex Nail as our principal guest. Alex is an award winning international landscape photographer and I am delighted he has agreed to present his photography to us on Friday evening. Bar meals will be available in the evening and there is no need to book these in advance.
Saturday I will lead a walk up and over Skiddaw which is very close to the hotel. I am sure there will be lots of other activities available which we can detail nearer the time such as climbing, cycling, outdoor swimming or under water bog snorkeling. We will meet for drinks at 6.30pm for dinner at 7.00pm. Hopefully there will be three short, but amusing speeches. A few words from me, then Alex Nail will propose the health of the club, followed by that well known comedian from Davenport, Mr. Andrew Llewellyn, who will propose the health of the President. The rest of the evening will be catching up with old mates over a few refreshments.
Sunday I will lead a walk over the hills at the back of Skiddaw, but I feel sure there will be other activities on offer or just do your own thing. I hope it will be a really good “do” and that this is enough to entice a good turn out – hope to see lots of you there in November. There is a booking form on the back of this edition of Meetstaff for the Annual Dinner.

Navigational Challenge
https://rucksackclub.org/event/navigational-challenge-2/
All day
16/11/2019-17/11/2019
This year’s RC Navigational Challenge will be held in Hayfield again on Saturday the 16th November, Starting and (hopefully) finishing at Bowden Bridge Car Park in Hayfield (GR SK 049 869) at the junction between Kinder Road & Edale Road. As with the previous year’s event, the plan is to meet at the starting point in Bowden Bridge Car Park, with interval starts from 9.30am, the course will be a series of Checkpoints, around and about “Kinder” and her kindred fells. I will provide A4 Maps (& A3 for those requiring larger reading print), along with zip-seal plastic bags, the Maps will be marked up with the Checkpoints. The course will be in the order of 12 to 18 miles depending on the route choices made by those taking part on the day and how many Checkpoints they visit. Those taking part can compete alone or with others as they wish, all will require appropriate Kit for the event, i.e. Fell Shoes or Boots, Full Waterproofs, Hat, Gloves, Clothing for the Weather Conditions on the Day, Compass, Whistle and enough food to keep you going! There will be prizes for those completing all of the course in the fastest time, plus some other prizes for “special” efforts & achievements on the day.
Post event I’m suggesting that we all eat at The Sportsman Inn, just down the road from Bowden Bridge, or another Pub in Hayfield (lots of choice) as they all do good food. I doubt the November weather will be kind enough for there to be a BBQ up the road at my place! Regarding accommodation, Hayfield Campsite www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk/campsites/uk/derbyshire/highpeak/hayfield is just across the road/river from Bowden Bridge Car Park and they will still be open over the weekend, they have plenty of space with Glamping Pod options too, there are also quite a lot of RC Members who reside in Hayfield and the surrounding area who might be able to assist with camping & bed-space, for those wishing to stopover for a more gentle walk over Kinder on Sunday, picking up a few of the Controls and visiting some of the “secret” places on Kinder. Please contact Andy if you wish to take part or if you have any queries.
