We’re having a meet at Heathy Lea this Saturday (28 Feb) and Sunday (1 March) to help get the hut open again. There are tasks available for everyone, indoors and outside. So, if you would like to help, the club will be very grateful.

Lots of opportunities for climbing, scrambling and walking here. I’m planning to camp at the Glen Nevis campsite which is walking distance from Fort William and close to the climbing on the Ben and Glen Nevis. The hope is to do some mountain rock routes on the north face. If the conditions aren’t right then […]

Yes, there really is a walk on April Fools Day!Meet at the car park by Weag’s Bridge (SK099542) at 10:15 for a 10:30 departure. The route takes us through Wetton, to Ecton Hill, passing by Warslow before heading first south and then east to Wetton Mill, where afternoon tea could be taken, before strolling down […]

Having been to the Anti Atlas the last three years in November I thought it’s time for a change in 2026, an adventure awaits on the sandstone monoliths of the Wadi rum desert. The climbing was established back in the late 80s by Tony Howard (not Oread Tony Howard). The grading has been done in […]

We are returning to the George Starkey Hut this March, for what is like a near annual pilgrimage, and it’s easy to see why, this is a super hut in a glorious area. There is some amazing hillwalking, low level around Ullswater, or higher level, all from the front door of the hut. March can […]

10 miles over Mam Tor, Rushup Edge, Brown Knoll and along the edge of Kinder to Grindslow. Should take about six hours, so there may be time for a quick drink afterwards! Meet at the main Edale car park (SK 123 853) at 10.00 am for a 10.15 start. Please let me know if you’re […]

In case you’re thinking we’ve already done this stage of the GeoWalk, you’d be partially correct. This in fact is the full-fat version of a walk which Rusty led last year and it should suit those purists amongst our ranks.It’s an A2B walk 15km long and with a mere 170m of ascent. Car shuffling will […]

A walk that begins at Chatsworth House DE45 1PP. (NOT the garden centre) at 11 a.m. Whilst it is probably a well-known area this takes advantage of the FREE parking offered at this time of year and a different starting point. the plan is to go along the river to the garden centre, Calton houses, […]

The hut is reserved for members and their guests over the festive period 24 December to 4 January. Book yourselves in, come and go as you please. I will not be there at Christmas but will arrive a day or two later in time for a New Year celebration featuring a joint meal -including Joan’s […]
