Lying at the start of the Pennine Way, the village of Edale has two pubs serving food, two cafes, and a railway station with regular services to Manchester and Sheffield. Easy access to the hills of Kinder Scout and Mam Tor. We are staying at Nab View bunkhouse on Ollerbrook farm.

Staying at Bryn Hafod, the Stafford Mountain Club hut. Nearby peaks include Cadair Idris (893m) and Aran Fawddwy (905m). The area is criss crossed with trails, including some of the best dedicated mountain biking trails in Wales. The Red Lion in Dinas Mawddwy serves food.

We are staying at the Exmoor Centre,in quite a remote location in the Hoaroak valley near Lynmouth and Lynton. I am told the old diesel generator is no more, replaced by solar panels. There is an axe and a good supply of logs for the woodburner. Will the toilet freeze over again? At least we are situated in woods.

We are staying again at the splendid Old Schoolhouse, owned by the Yorkshire Subterranean Society. The Helwith Bridge Inn is close by, and does meals. We are just down the road from Horton in Ribblesdale, if anyone is up for the three peaks challenge.

Stay off-grid by the shores of Loch Ossian, high up in the middle of Rannoch moor. The SYHA eco hostel is accessible by rail with Corrour station a twenty minute walk away. Any other route involves a long walk or bike-ride. If it snows we can build snowpeople and go sledging! Oh and maybe climb a mountain or few.

We are staying at High House, a converted farmhouse, in Seathwaite, at the head of Borrowdale, the loveliest of the Lake District valleys according to Alfred Wainwright. The central fells such as Scafell, Great End and Great Gable can be ascended directly from the front door.

We are staying at Coed Owen bunkhouse, which is on an idyllic Welsh hill farm in the heart of the Brecons, between Merthyr and Brecon. Two hours walk from Pen Y Fan. Nantddhu Lodge hotel is just a five minute walk away and serves great food and fine ales.

Staying at Caseg Fraith club hut, situated near the base of Tryfan. Ideal for walking on the Glyderrau, Carneddau and Moel Siabod, and for climbing on Tryfan and in Cwm Idwal.

Glen Nevis Youth Hostel sits at the foot of Ben Nevis, with a path to the mountain leading directly from the door. Surrounded by some of Scotland's most dramatic landscapes including a spectacular walk to the Steall Falls. Other activities include sea kayaking and mountain biking (you can hire bikes in Fort William).

This meet is specifically for those of you who want to learn skills that will enable you to take on the wonderful world of trad climbing. This Skills Weekender is for you if you are already an indoor climber with the confidence to lead and belay a partner safely or you're a sport climber looking to make the leap into trad. You'll learn skills vital for trad climbing that you can then use to further your own progression.

We'll cover 4 core areas;
1) Gear, what is it and how to place it safely,
2) Belaying with half ropes,
3) Setting up anchors to keep you and your climbing partner safe,
4) Abseiling on a single line and half ropes.

We will climb on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th of May. Details of groups and leaders will be posted closer to the dates but it wont deviate much from previous years.

We have a plot booked at the North Lees Campsite for the nights of Friday 16th and Saturday 17th May. The campsite is only a 1km walk from Stanage Plantation in one direction and 1.5ks to Hathersage in the other.

Cost of the weekend to follow as im still negotiating with the site.

The idea is to cross the high plateau of the northern Cairngorms with four nights "backpack" camping. We will start out in Deeside not far from Balmoral, and finish at Kingussie if all goes to plan. The largest area of land over 1000m in the UK, the sub-arctic flora and fauna is a joy as the days in the north really start to lengthen out. You will have to carry everything you need for the duration. Our high level route might include Ben Avon, Beinn a' Bhuird, Beinn a' Charainn, Ben Macdui, Carn a' Mhain, Bod an Deamhain, Cairn Toul and Mullach Clach a' Bhlair. Valley escapes available. Spring can bring stable weather to the plateau with amazing heat inversions (not guaranteed), no midges (guaranteed!) and there will still be snow lying in the high coires. An excellent introduction to expeditioning.

Toms Field, details to come

I reckon you deserve a week off, staying in a lovely little hut nestled in the Pass of Llanberis, arguably the home of trad climbing in the UK. The hut is based in Nant Peris so you have iconic crags such as Graig Ddu, Clogwyn Grochan, Carreg Wasted, Dinas y Gromlech and Dinas Mot just a short walk or bus ride away - its a paradise for anyone looking to get into their multi-pitch climbing with lots of very accessible grades. Another bonus is that the position of the hut is literally only a 20min walk away from the famous sport routes of the Llanberis quarries, which, on showery days are very fast drying. Not wanting to tie in? You could explore the many world class boulders in the valley or just take full advantage of some incredible walks all from the front door of the hut.

Reach out to me if you have any questions or if you want to chat through logistics of the meet.

Dates:

Accommodation / Cost
Fronwydyr hut in Nant Peris at £10 per night per person, £50 for the 5 nights.
