Settle Circular

11th January 2020 by fiona burnett Leave a Comment

The first walk of the New Year saw the club above Settle on an eleven mile wander in the stunning Limestone area of Warrendale Knotts also more commonly known as Attermire.

The clubs Walking What’s app group had been busy the night before debating the horrendous forecast but six of us persevered and were rewarded with a dry if some what overcast day until half a mile before the end of the walk.

Chris and Anne knew of a good cake shop at the end so after a yummy blueberry and coconut cake followed by a large mug of tea we were happily recompensed for getting slightly damp.

Thanks to all for their company. As always an enjoyable day.

The next walk is Thursday 23rd January Rylstone to Grassington. Before the photo competition!!! So if you haven’t sent those pictures to John yet nows your opportunity.

Plas Y Brenin June 2020

Through the BMC we have found a great opportunity to book the Moelwyn Bunkhouse at Plas Y Brenin for the nights of Friday 26th and Saturday 27th June 2020. Plas Y Brenin offers a great base for climbing and walking, with it’s facilities and bar right next door!

In addition to the two nights we have a provisional reservation for a third night on Sunday 28th if enough members are interested for a three night stay, and we may also have the opportunity of a free short climbing coaching session with a Plas Y Brenin instructor during our stay. As such the club is keen to promote this meet and get early interest so bookings are open for members now, and for guests and provisional members on 27th January. Cost is £16 per night.

Details of the bunkhouse:

Accommodation

The bunkhouse sleeps 16 with rooms of 10, 4, and 2.

Please email the organiser Kara Heald to confirm availability and we will then request payment to reserve your place. At the same time please also let us know if you would be interested in a third night stay (Sunday 28th June) and / or the free climbing coaching session. We will request a separate additional payment for the third night once we confirm if we have enough interest to extend the booking.

Sunshine in the High Pennines – A walk on Wildboar Fell and More with Dick on SAT 30 NOV 2019

29th November 2019 by Dick Leave a Comment

I am planning on a longish walk over Wildboar Fell from Garsdale Station at about 9.20am to Kirkby Stephen. I will probably continuing right into the Town for Refreshment (23km +720m Ascent) leaving a walk of about 3 km up to the station for an evening train back. It could be cut short if required by going straight off the fell into the station. (15.45 or 17.14 train)

We should have some fantastic views, and plenty of sunshine but remember a head torch. If anyone fancies joining me you will be very welcome. Please ring, text or email me if you are thinking about it

Langdale and Selside.

14th November 2019 by fiona burnett 1 Comment

Another smashing weekend in the the Lakes from the Little Langdale Hut gave us some superb walking straight from the door.

A veggie communal meal on the Saturday night was enjoyed by all, really yummy, so many thanks Dick for sorting and with John’s photo competition on the horizon there was lots of potential to get that winning shot with such stunning weather to be had.

If that wasn’t enough walking from Selside was a bonus later in the week.

The next walk is a local walk up Simons Seat on Saturday 23rd November, followed by a walk from the Christmas Hut Meet in the Lakes at Stair. So come along to both if you get the chance and get clicking those pictures.
