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!

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

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
Depart from Longnor at 10.00am. Walk will go via Earl Sterndale, Parkhouse, Chrome hill, Hollins hill and Hollinsclough. About 13 km.
There is the option to shorten it or start later by parking in Earl Sterndale (limited parking) and joining us around 10.45-11.00am. Text me if you are doing this. There will be MUD !

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…

The Royal, Hayfield @ 7pm
THE HOTTEST RACE ON EARTH & THE PEAK CLASSIC ROCK ROUND… ON A BIKE!
**MEMBERS AND PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS ONLY***
Club members Wesley Cole and Will Gould will talk about two amazing adventures they took part in.
Meet Organiser: Alice Gioia
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.

Our first TUPTO of the year and an opportunity for you all to come down and support your club.
We’ll likely be aiming to meet at 11:30a.m. at Awesome Walls, Stockport.
Mostly we’ll be climbing, chatting to potential new members and drinking coffee.
We normally wrap things up by 4:00p.m. but any time you can put in on the day is appreciated.
It’ll be a fantastic opportunity for you to show off your new MYNYNDD T-Shirts!!

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.
