Lake District camping meet: 16-18th June.
Hi all, apologies about the short notice but please could you let me know by tomorrow whether you’re wanting to come on this meet, stay at https://www.chapelhousefarmcampsite.co.uk/, and if so if you’re bringing a car and what size tent. (Also let me know if you’ve already managed to stealth book!)
The site CHF have declared us a group and want us to make a group booking, so have requested that I book on everyone’s behalf. They seem to have had some negative experience with climbing clubs and are “close to banning them”, but I did my best to describe our civility. No money needs to go anywhere yet as it’s cash on arrival.
If you don’t want to decide now, there are other campsites you can turn up at e.g. https://www.facebook.com/stonethwaitecampsite/
I’ll put this on the forum now as well.
I’ve got Alice and myself down that I know of anyway.
Thanks,
Jack

Update 11/05/23:
We have 23 of 28 attendees booked into Chapel House Farm and they are not taking any more for our group; “23 is enough.”. I have contacted the five late comers who didn’t make it and advised them to try Stonethwaite campsite which don’t take bookings. So if you’re reading this and missed out in letting me know at very short notice (sorry!) you’re interested, head to Stonethwaite Campsite; you’ll probably not be the only Mynydd there and it’s only a few minutes walk away from CHF (and you’re closer to a pub, maybe you win afterall!).
Secondly, CHF seem mildly edgy at lots of vehicles, so I (and perhaps for their perception of other climbing clubs) would appreciate you maximising lift sharing and the number of people in cars.
Thirdly, CHF are keen to know when we are arriving. I have said we’d arrive between 1300 and 2100 on Friday.
Fourthly, my thanks for getting your interest to me at such sort notice and my apologies if you didn’t find this post in time – overall hopefully not a big deal.

Finally, perhaps our best bet for group beers together are the lawns of the YHA or Glaramara Hotel.
Okay… now you can all go back to perusing the guidebooks! I can recommend Banzai Pipeline!
Thanks,
Jack
