    I’m very excited to be leading the Northumberland meet this year. The last time the club made it to the far north east of England was the early May bank holiday of 2017, which was a superb few days of climbing.

    This year we’re going to be staying at the Demesne Farm Campsite (https://www.demesnefarmcampsite.co.uk/campsite) right near the village centre (read – pubs and tea rooms) of Bellingham. This also situates us perfectly for walking and biking in Kielder forest, and gives a range of crags within day-hit distance from Hadrian’s Wall to Kyloe, as well as proximity to ‘Britain’s original smart home’ for the nerds amongst us (so, everyone?! https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/north-east/cragside)

    The club is going to put down a deposit at the start of February to reserve us at least 5 pitches for 10 people. If you’re interested in going, please email me (abi.k.lucas@gmail.com)/ text me (details in the members’ area) ASAP, letting me know number in party/ tent/ van etc. Sign up early to avoid disappointment!

    2023 prices:
    Car & Tent (1 people) – £16.00
    Car & Tent (2 person) – £24.00
    Motorhome/Campervan (2 people) – £24.00
    Extra adults – £12.00
    Children under 5 – Free
    Children 5 – 15 years – £4.50
    Electricity hook ups – POA
    Dogs (Max 2 per pitch) – £1.00

    Looking forward to seeing you there 😃

    Hello lovely Mynydd folk🙂

    Wonderfully, there is already a healthy contingent of keen beans signed and paid up for this meet.

    If you want to be guaranteed a spot too, please transfer either £36 (if you’re paying for a couple) or £24 (if you’re paying for yourself only) into the club coffers by this Sunday 12th Feb, and let me and treasurer.mynydd@gmail.com know when you’ve done it. We will be putting down a 50% deposit with the campsite next week.

    Club bank details are still:
    Sort Code: 01-05-51
    Account Number: 40582787

    Please also let me know if you’re coming with car & tent or with campervan (+/- hook-up), and number of dogs if applicable.

    Any questions, drop me an email/ text please.

    Looking forward to seeing you there!

    Hello again,

    A little birdie told me that there is still a lot of interest in this meet which is fabulous news – but if that’s you, you will need to get in there quickly! The Mynydd alone have already booked out half of the available pitches on the campsite.

    If you want to join us, please complete the campsite booking form found here: https://www.demesnefarmcampsite.co.uk/campsite and get your deposit paid ASAP. I recommend putting [Your name] (Mynydd) in the form so they know you’re with the club.

    Please also drop me a note to say that you’ve booked. I can send you a link to the WhatsApp group for the meet if you want it.

    Cheers,

    Abi

    Hello!

    I’ve just had chat with the lovely owners of Demesne farm campsite who have advised that there’s “room for a few stragglers” at their site this weekend in Northumberland if anyone else is keen for a last minute trip. Please just give them a call and they’ll tell you the rest.

    Plenty of scope for good climbing, walking, biking, boozing (https://www.firstandlastbrewery.co.uk/) and tourist opportunities – fun for all energy levels whatever the weather (as long as you’ve packed your thermals)! 😄

    See you there,

    Abi
