    Now found a moment this afternoon to study the MWIS from 1.36pm today. Saturday looks a poor day in the Dales, and Lakes. Sunday is better in the Dales, looks like being pretty windy but “dry for several hours, particularly eastern Dales”.
    So unless this changes, I suggest we stay with the idea of Penyghent on Sunday morning. I’ll aim to pick up Mike and Linda at 7.45, then Caroline and Marjan please be at Fox car park for 7.55. My suggestion is to drive to Stainforth then up the Halton Gill road to park by the cattle grid at 842715. Probably at 10.00 am & meet Steve. We can then go straight up PYG via Churn Milk Hole before 11.00 and before the weather deteriorates. There are obvious circuits back via Horton in Ribblesdale.
    Must remember the A59 road over Blubberhouses is closed, though !!
    Is that OK for everyone ?

    Further hereon, having peered at the road map and checked the road closure, I see the official diversion is via Ilkley, Otley and Pool which will be a very tedious crawl. Maybe the smart money will be to approach our objective the back way via Grassington, Kilnsey and Halton Gill.

    Hi,
    I would also be interested in a trip out. Not yet been on an outing with the club but payed membership last week.
    I can drive but if anyone wants to car share I can donate to fuel. When you say the Fox do you mean Fox Inn in Holgate? If so will be there for 7.45.

    P.s. Went to Horton on rib last week and followed diversions, traffic was heavy so recommend your alternative route.

    Cheers

    There is an unofficial diversion which takes you off the A59 to west end at Blubberhouses ,towards Thruscross.approx 6 mins.
