This weekend is primarily designed to give new and in-experienced members an introduction to expedition skills; backpacking, navigation, route finding and wild camping, but should also provide an entertaining weekend for experienced members who would like to contribute their knowledge and skills to help others. During this trip we will concentrate on basic skills and knowledge in a safe and un-demanding environment with a view to tackling more ambitious projects in the not too distant future! More Info |

Welsh Mark |

The exact dates for this meet are still to be confirmed, as they will much depend on the club dinner weekend which is also unconfirmed. We will be camping at Beeches Farm not far from Chepstow in the Wye Valley. Welsh Mark is arranging the campsite, which some of you will have been to on the Ceunant Meet last September. The location lends it’s self equally well for climbing, walking and paddling, or just yet another good social! More Info |

We are thinking of booking Thorpe Farm Bunkhouse in Hathersage for a weekend towards the middle of the November, this will of course depend on how many of us want to go, as the accommodation will attract a fixed cost that needs to be broken down enough to make it worth while. We can then book a table at the Little John for a meal on Saturday Night, which has excellent food and a good range of real ales also. More Info |
