WINTER BIVVY MEET – Sat 28th Jan

This meet will no longer be going ahead.
Graham stepped up to make sure the meet went ahead but with no on putting there hands up wanting to join in then unfortunately we’re pulling the plug.

‐–‐—————————————

Huge Kudos to Graham for stepping up on this one!!
Details from the main man himself are below with a healthy dose of flexibility! Plans will firm up depending on who and how many people are keen to join him! Please comment below and I’ll make sure the message get to him 🙂

How to sell shivering the night away in a damp sleeping bag?
Dan says can I put together a brief outline times Etc.
This all sounds like structured organisation itineraries venues most frightening of all times!
So let’s try Saturday night out on the hill Sunday morning beautiful and clear? be nice to do some climbing.
However if Saturday is a good day and Sunday wet, better to start early on Saturday current forecast is fair for both days.
I can make 1pm at Laddow on Saturday to climb and can stay the on Sunday,
If it was too wet for any climbing, Laddow is a good place to start a walk in four counties.
I will walk in from Greenfield, Chew. Crowden is shorter walk in both have parking
I am easy and will spend time climbing or take a longer rout from & to Greenfield
one positive of a Laddow bivvy is no lights in view [home moss tv mast] so a promise of the milkyway, or cloud or both. before the morning

WINTER LECTURE NO. 3
Feb 5 all-day

Film Screening & Q&A
The Last Forgotten Art
With Jessie Leong, Vicky Walsh & Steve Rayner

19.00 start

Is crack climbing the Last Forgotten Art? From hand-sized splitters, chicken wings to whole body wriggles, ‘The Last Forgotten Art’ follows crack aficionados Mel, Vicky and Steve in their pursuit of slightly more unusual ‘off-width climbs’ found in the Peak District. The film, which won the People’s Choice Award at Kendal Film Festival, places emphasis on a different style of climbing that requires a certain amount of creativity to climb them, focusing on the fringes of the climbing community drawn to all things wide at its heart.

Meet Organiser:  Alice Gioia

AVIEMORE WINTER MEET, SYHA
Feb 18 – Feb 25 all-day

SCOTTISH WINTER MEET – 18th TO 25th FEBRUARY 2023

It’s Winter, apparently, and in 2023 we’ll be heading to the exotic polar resort of Aviemore for the annual Winter Meet.

The Cairngorms National Park will be the main attraction, but there is also the Monadhliath over the road with Creag Meagaidh and even Torridon within striking distance. Alas the Mountain Cafe and its epic queue is no more, but rumour has it they’ve now setup shop in Grantown.
Accommodation will be provided by the Aviemore YHA. There are 28 beds available in total, mainly in dorms. If you want a twin bedroom instead you’ll have to be very quick off the mark. A spreadsheet will be available shortly to track who has booked what.

* £160 pp for a bed in a twin room
* £130 pp for a dorm bed

There’s also some skiing apparently though quite why anyone would want to get involved with that nonsense…

Mar 5 all-day

The Royal, Hayfield @ 7pm

**MEMBERS AND PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS ONLY***

Club members Wesley Cole and Will Gould will talk about two amazing adventures they took part in.

WINTER WALK
Mar 5 all-day

Final winter Walk – Sunday 5th March. 9am for 9.30 please.

Will be a lovely 9 mile / 5-6 hour circuit from Edale, taking in Hollins Cross, Lose Hill, Hope Cross and Rowland Cote. It’s slightly easier than last months but some shorter options are available.
Last Sunday the main car park was full by 9.30 so we will meet at Edale main car park at 9am for a 9.30 start (yes, yes, I know . . . If I can manage it, anyone can). If it is already full the overflow car park just past the station car park will hopefully be open. Both need cash only.

At 7pm there is our final winter lecture at Hayfield – see Alice’s separate post. The good news is that due to our earlier walk start you’ll have plenty of time to get home, nap, shower and change before that.

SCRAMBLING MEET @ North Wales somewhere...
Mar 24 – Mar 26 all-day

Scrambling meet March 25-26

Unfortunately this meet will no longer be going ahead due to lack of attendance. With only one person putting up their hand it wasn’t viable for David to run the weekend.

This may have been due to people not being available or potentially just a meet people aren’t keen for. It’s a shame if it’s the latter as last years meet had a great attendance and was really successful!

That said rather than lose a weekend if there is enthusiasm to do something AND we have someone willing to organise it I’m happy to run with a different meet. Feel free to reach out to me if you have an idea you’re willing to run with, even if it’s a day meet.

HAUTE PROVENCE – EASTER MEET @ HAUTE PROVENCE
Apr 7 – Apr 16 all-day

Easter Meet – Haute Provence, Apr 8-15
This meet was originally planned for Easter 2020 and became the first major lockdown casualty. So we’ll try again.
We will be based in Buis-les-Baronnies. Buis is a charming town surrounded by excellent crags and a great destination for climbers wanting to sample a number of areas without having to drive too far. The area has some of the best sport climbing crags in the world, good walking and cycling and some local Via Ferratas. It is also just an all-round really nice place to go on holiday with lots of sun and daytime temperatures around 18 degrees. Rockfax do a guidebook for the area, released in 2009 (https://rockfax.com/climbing…/books/france-haute-provence/).
The nearest crag, Saint Julien (photo), is a 20 minute walk from the campsite and to quote that guidebook, “This enormous fin of rock dominates the skyline above Buis and just begs to be climbed. The routes are, with a few exceptions, brilliant, taking strong natural lines in two or more pitches”. There are 39 routes from 5 to 6a+, another 39 more above that and some VF’s. Most are south facing.
There are many lovely looking accommodation options via AirBnB and Booking.com and for those of us in tents or vans we plan to use the nice looking Municipal campsite (and swimming pool) right in the town centre (https://www.buislesbaronnies.fr/camping-municipal/). It officially opens in early March but I am hoping to make a provisional group booking very soon so please let me know ASAP if you’d like to be included.
If you’d like to make your own arrangements you can email them at camping@mairie.buislesbaronnies.fr. Prices on the website are from 2019 but as a guide they are, per day; Adults €3, Tent €2.50, Campervan €5.50, Car 2.50, Electric 6amp 3.50 or 10amp €4.
Travel options in addition to driving include flights or trains to Marseille, Lyon and Nice and additionally train to Avignon.
To help with both accommodation and hire car sharing I have set up a Google spreadsheet where people can share their plans and say if they are looking for people to share with. This is in the website / Members Area / Extended Meets / Easter 2023
Please let me know ASAP if you’re interested in coming, and if you would be using the campsite.
