SpectatorLoch and I now have a plan to meet at t’Cliff at 4.30 pm. (Unless Loch is delayed).
Nan you have my phone no of course.
Obviously we’ll spend a while on Low Man from Rough Crack to Square Chimney, but if not visible there, we may be on High Man eg Birds Nest or Traditional Climb.
ANDREWSpectatorThe midges could be a serious consideration.
I am in Leeds during the day tomorrow, so from a purely personal point of view, a West Yorks venue would be best. I wouldn’t mind Almscliff. Loch thinks we go there too much, albeit I’ve only been about 3 times this year.
ANDREWSpectatorAs I’m still a bit jet-lagged after getting back from hols yesterday, plus need to pack for Scotland trip leaving tomorrow morning, I think I’ll just go to the pub later on.
Pity Brimham is not a bit closer to York !
ANDREWSpectatorForecast for Saturday is now out from MWIS. No wind, no rain, lots of sunshine.
There are three of us en route for the North-West I think
ASpectatorHi All,
Assuming that Mike’s dates are the same as Maria’s when he completes the Doodle Poll at http://doodle.com/7ada7bd8a9tnucu3 then we will have 7 for November weekends, but insufficient numbers for October. I understand that Paul Walkington is also able to join us in November, so that makes 8. Unfortunate for Paul McKenzie…….. sorry Paul…….. but the result is very clear in respect of preferred dates.
I have been in touch with the course provider, and yet again he is holding his price !! This course just gets cheaper and cheaper in real terms, what a bargain !!
So I have provisionally booked him for 15th and 16th November. The course will run from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm both days at Heslington.
So it is now time please for us each to get some money to Maria. As a reminder on how this works (and presuming the agreement of YMC Committee to underwrite it in the usual way) we now need to get £100 each to Maria (cheques to York Mountaineering Club, or transfers as Maria directs please). Once Maria has £700 in hand, I will definitely book the course. If there is only the minimum number of 7, the club will underwrite £200, as the total cost is £900. If there are 9 of us, it will cost £100 each.
However if we get 10, 11 or 12 on the course (and every previous course has eventually sold out at 12 places) then you will get a cash refund on the day.
In all previous cases, with all 12 places sold, the refund has been £25 so the course has cost £75 (£900 / 12) which really, is cheap as chips.Again as a reminder, there is no examination, but everyone completing the course gets an REC Level 2 Certificate which is valid for 3 years.
So get yer pennies on t’table for Maria
Cheers
ANDREW
