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

Howgills Walking Meet

11th May 2019 by fiona burnett Leave a Comment

Blessed with a stunning morning five of us set off from Sedbergh and enjoyed England at its best. From leafy river banks covered with blue bells and wild garlic we studied the imposing old railway viaducts of the now abandon Barbon line. Having swung south down the Rawthey and Lune valleys we now headed north with a splendiferous panorama of the Howgills opening up before us.

A well graded track soon followed which led up past Birkhaw onto Bram Rigg and The Calf where we were once again greeted with a super view.

Having packed the night before after a big tea, the Leaders butty box was now looking decidedly bare. Oh no!! So not quite declaring an emergency we scampered off down the hill where we soon found a great cafe thanks to Steve’s intel and enjoyed an unusual selection of very yummy cakes and a well earned pot of tea.

A great end to a very enjoyable day out!! Thanks to all for the good company.

The next walk is David’s on Saturday 15th June Drumaldrace (Wensleydale) which again is another lovely part of the world.

SOME EXITING IDEAS FOR SEPTEMBER

16th April 2019 by Dick 3 Comments

In our recent Newsletter I asked you all to think of some ideas for a meet in September as we have not yet booked a hut and I am not personally able to commit to a date in September. So far I have received two very different and interesting ideas. Firstly Ian suggested a CIC Hut trip to do some of the classic rock climbs on the Ben. (Probably a weekend or a bit more). Secondly Shirley mentioned a trip to a Hostel in Wooler which should give access to some fantastic hill country, mountain biking, costal walks and some outcrop climbing. (Probably a weekend but there should be no difficulty in adding a bit more.)

It is looking like we will have some choice of dates, so if you are keen, please give any relevant dates that you are available Please post here, email, ring or just talk to me if you are interested in either or both of these ideas. Other ideas for September or for any other time are most welcome. I would hope to be able to write up one or more of these as proposed trips for the committee to consider in early May. So ideas and expressions of interest to me by end of April please.

P.S. I am hoping that at the last minute commitments will let me come on one or both of the trips mentioned so far.”
