We have booked the Cleveland Mountaineering Club hut in Patterdale for the weekend arriving on Friday the 3rd and departing on Sunday the 5th of February 2023. A link to the hut web page with all information is here: http://www.clevelandmc.com/patterdale-hut/
There are many opportunities for mountaineering in the vicinity either high on the fells for winter climbing and skills development or lower in the valleys for walking, running or mountain biking. The weather will of course dictate how best to enjoy the weekend. For those club members interested in winter skills training it is worth giving consideration to joining a day course with the Fell Top Assessors on Helvellyn. https://www.lakedistrictweatherline.co.uk/winter-skills-courses.
The hut is equipped with cooking facilities so we can anticipate self catering for the weekend. A communal meal for all can be arranged for the Saturday evening and will involve a cash subscription, payable at the hut, for those wishing to participate. Details are yet to be worked out and will depend on who’s going and dietary preferences. There are also pubs in the vicinity should the need arise.
There are 12 places available, 3 of which are already taken.

Please can you inform me here or via WhatsApp that you are interested in coming so I can confirm availability although your place will be confirmed only after paying the £26 fee for the hut. I’ll update this post when the spaces are filling up.
Thanks,
Dave M
