FELL RACE, WINTER WALK & WINTER LECTURE
Nov 6 all-day

FELL RACE & Winter Walk – Sun 6th November 2022
The Mynydd Annual fell race and winter walk will take place next Sunday 6th.
Meet at the public Sett Valley Trail car park (Hayfield, SK22 2JG – SK036869).
Walkers will set off for 10:00 a.m. with runners heading out slightly staggered around 10:30a.m. to give you all a bit of a solitude. To make things interesting the route cards you’ll be given on the day will be slightly different so even if you do see someone one the hill I wouldn’t follow them! Is that runner ahead of me actually ahead of me or are they behind me!?!?
Don’t be resting on the laurels if you think you’re in front, there’s a good chance you’re last!
They’ll be various checkpoints you have to hit en-route to get your route card punched and these won’t always be obvious so you may have to have a hunt them out!
They’ll be options from 10km right up to 18km with chances to take short cuts. It’s all depends on each person’s tenacity and how many checkpoints they want to hit!
The winner might not necessarily be the quickest!
The race will finish at the Royal Hotel and there’s plenty of places to grab something to eat near by before you stagger back to your car at the end of the Sett Valley Trail. If your legs are really shot you can always just fester in your own filth and wait for our fantastic first winter lecture organised by Alice which will kick off at the Royal for 7:00p.m.
If your intending to run then please comment below so I know to expect you!
Apologies for the late notice on this one but it’s Fell (badum tish) to me to arrange things!

WINTER LECTURE – No. 1

LOGGING MEET @ BYN
Nov 11 – Nov 13 all-day

LOGGING / BONFIRE MEET
FRI 11TH NOV – SUN 13TH NOV

Do you like burning stuff?? Swinging Axes??
Then we have the perfect meet for you!
Once again we descend on our beloved Blaen-Y-Nant to chop wood and burn stuff with a healthy dose of explosions thrown in for good measure!
Can we go another year accident free? Will Jules bring a stringer axe this year? What has Jack ‘s imagination been plotting for the grand lighting??

Similar format as with most years with Saturday spent chopping, sawing, stacking wood in glorious sunshine. Did someone say Indian summer?
Hard graft will be rewarded by a hearty meal and as much beer & wine as you can stomach (bring your own drinks…). The day will wrap up with a tremendous firework display worthy of sending someone off to Valhalla.
This is usually a busy meet so space on bunks will be limited (and first come, first served) so it’s worthwhile bringing a tent (fabric or tin variety) if you want your own space.
Sundays we’ll get out for some adventures so bring your gear with you.

IF YOU’ ARE COMING PLEASE COMMENT BELOW OR EMAIL ME AT MEETS.MYNYDD@GMAIL.COM SAYING IF YOU’LL BE STAYING IN THE HUT OR IN TENT/VAN AND IF YOU WANT MEAT OR VEG FOR THE EVENING MEAL.

There is usually a modest charge to help cover the cost of communal food and the fireworks. Bring some cash with you for this please but it’s usually about £10.

Hut fee’s as usual can be sent to James with a reference of “BURN your name”. This will enable him to keep tabs on whose paid whilst making the bank statement look like a list of witches to be dealt with.
£6.00 pppn for members (£4.00 kids) and £12.00 pppn for non-members (£6.00 kids)

WINTER WALK
Dec 4 all-day

Sue’s Winter Walk – Sunday 4 December
Bearing in mind we need to be at the AGM well before 16.30, I’ve found us a local walk.

Cown Edge and Whitely Nab from Chunal is 6.5 miles with 350 m of ascent. It’ll probably be boggy but hopefully clear so we can get some good views. Meet at 10 for 10.30 at the car park on A624 between Hayfield and Glossop (034907).
In addition to butties, I will be bringing dry and mud free spare clothes so I can go straight from the walk to the AGM, have dinner and listen to the fantastic talk.
See you all there.

MALHAM XMAS BASH
Dec 9 – Dec 11 all-day

XMAS CURRY WEEKEND – 9 & 10 DECEMBER
HILL TOP BUNKHOUSE, MALHAM

There are still a few places left on our favourite early December meet.
We are returning to the excellent Hill Top Bunkhouse in Malham. After a great day walking, riding or chilly climbing, we will put on our Xmas party hats and tuck into a takeaway curry from the highly rated Bollywood Cottage.

The accommodation will cost £38 pp for the weekend, including a free extra Sunday night extension. Please transfer the money to the Mynydd account with Malham as your reference and message me to say you are coming. I will set up a separate Whats App group to organise the food booking and payment (likely to be £18pp). Please note that only two dogs are allowed and both those places are taken.
Looking forward to it as ever. Sue

NEW YEARS WALK
Jan 2 all-day
If like me you intend to spend the next two weeks eating your weight in cheese, and come New Year you might be in need off a little leg stretch, then please join me on the 2nd to welcome in the New Year with a walk along Derwent Edge.

The plan is to meet in Fairholmes car park for a 10am start (I’ll aim to be there from 9.45 near the coffee kiosk). Bring some lunch, beer money, and parking pennies (unless you get in one of the nearby laybys instead of Fairholme). Approx 15km route.

Comment below or drop me a message if you plan to join.

My contact details are on the forum.

SEATHWAITE HUT MEET @ High House
Jan 12 – Jan 15 all-day

Thursday 12th Jan – Sun 15th Jan 2023

After last year’s Covid induced mass exodus, hopefully this year will be a little plainer sailing! We’re staying at the K Fellfarers ‘High House’ hut in Seathwaite – to find it simply stick ‘High House – Club Hut’ into your newfangled interweb widget or locate NY235119 if you’re in the old skool posse.

Pillows and tea towels aren’t provided so bring both. Dogs (or pets in general – maybe bring a frog, or a bat…) are allowed in the common room but must sleep in your vehicle. I’ll send out some more information to attendees nearer the time and see if there’s any appetite for a communal cook-up or such.

There’s lots of great walking straight from the hut and if winter conditions are favourable then climbing to be had up on Great Gable, Green Gable and Great End. Low level cragging in Borrowdale might be possible if there’s a settled spell and if the weather is totally minging then there are plenty of cafes in Keswick.

To book, simply pay £21.50 into the club account and send me an email (see members area) to let me know you’re coming. Remember that this is your hut payment, not a deposit, and a refund can only be guaranteed if you sell your spot!
