It goes without saying that the last couple of dodgy winters will be compensated for with fat ice, miles of off piste skiing and fantastic cold/clear/crisp weather. See the forum for more details:

Put all those hours you’ve racked up at the climbing gym to use! If the weather is looking iffy there is the option of staying in the barn and Vector stays dry in the rain too 🙂

The Gower peninsula is a lovely place to climb. It’s limestone like south Pembroke but rather more friendly, with a real holiday vibe. You may well have been there in the past but as a club we have not been there for quite a few years, so let’s put that right.

An outstanding opportunity to experience the highest crags in England. There are very few places in Britain that offer the breadth of high calibre climbing that can be enjoyed on the crags of Scafell. East Buttress, Scafell Crag, Pike’s Crag and Esk Buttress provide many routes and scrambles of all grades to suit all tastes. The Wainwright baggers will also be ideally placed to complete all or some of the Eskdale Horseshoe.
The plan is to camp/bivvy at the Sampson’s Stones in Upper Eskdale (grid ref NY 217 053) – a stunning location on a grassy knoll with great tent pitches and even bouldering from the tent door. The outlook over Great Moss and the River Esk is fantastic. The walk in is a good hour, and some might say nearer 90 minutes. The shortest approach (a little boggy) would be from Cockley Beck, but the more scenic approach would be from the foot of Hardknott Pass on the Eskdale Green side via Brotherilkeld Farm.

This year we are heading north to God’s own Country. There’s something for everyone here – gritstone galore, limestone just up the road and most importantly a good pub a short walk away!

Fell Race organiser: Mark Ward, or possibly a Mark Ward impersonator depending on his work schedule!
As always, the exact details for the race will be kept a closely guarded secret until the last minute – can’t be having any secret training now can we! The rules will of course penalise those with too high a level of physical fitness and ensure that any old punter can be crowned the next fell race champion. Meet at Sir William Hill Road Parking (S32 1AX) at 10.30am for an 11.00am start.
Meets Forum organiser: David Kirsfelds
An informal discussion of next years meets calendar will take place in The Moon Inn (Stoney Middleton, S32 4TL) following the fell race – we take your post exercise re-hydration and nutrition needs very seriously! The pub has kindly said that they will reserve some tables for us so keep an eye on Facebook or the website nearer the time to sign up. Discussion will commence post-lunch (approx. 2.00pm) and focus on generating the Tuesday Evening meets list and ideas for weekend and extended meets. Ideas from this discussion will be taken forward into the online voting system which will go live later on in the month.

This year we are combining the ever popular Winter Walks with the Winter Lecture series to deliver a spectacular Social Sunday! Either head out for the walk or boulder before food and the evening entertainment.
Winter Walk: Grindsbrook Clough & Jacob’s Ladder
Meet at the parking close to Barber Booth (108847) at 10.00am for 10.30am start. We’re going up Grindsbrook Clough and down Jacob’s Ladder – about 7 miles.
Bouldering: The Depot, Manchester
Arrive anytime after midday depending on how long you think your arms will last!
Winter Lecture: Everest The Old Way
The Norfolk Arms, Marple Bridge
6pm – 8pm
This evening John Driskell and David Peckett take us through the story of driving from Barnsley to Basecamp. Having saved for two years, 5 of them set off in Nov 1967 and reached Everest in March of the following year! They lay claim to the first recorded trek to Everest. In 2010 they returned – a very different journey to a very different basecamp! We’ll hear about the initial journey, way back when, as well as some musings on the more recent trip.
