The Aviemore trip is not far away. All 18 of us on the previous post have paid for the trip and have a space in one of the four rooms which are booked from Friday night until Monday morning. I will allocate people to rooms nearer to the time when we have some idea about who is travelling when and who is teamed up together.

At the moment there are three members on the list who have not renewed their club membersip for 2026. Please check who you are and pay your renewal fee of £38 for the year. If your club membership is not valid in time for the trip you will not be able to go and you will only get a refund if a reserve takes your place. If anyone is unable to go to Aviemore please let me know asap so so your place in the hostel may be offered to another member.

The Tamanna Indian Restaurant has been booked for 18 of us on the Saturday night. If there are extra members planning to be in Aviemore and want to join us at the restaurant please let me know and I will update the booking. In a week or so I will create a WhatsApp group for the trip and any additional club members who are self accommodating will be able to join the group and keep in touch with the main party.

The Fox pub night is next Thursday, the 5th of February. For those not in regular contact or who have not yet made plans this is a very useful opportunity to get together and begin to sort out your intentions for the winter weekend. Hope to see you there. I have some spare equipment that I can loan out and can take maps and climbing guidebooks to the pub to help people with their planning.

Cheers!

All 12 places on the Aviemore trip have been taken. If anyone else is interested in joining the trip please get in touch with me asap and we may be able to book another 4 or 6 bunk room. No guarantees.

The cost of the trip is £67 per person. Please pay the club bank account before the 3rd of November to guarantee your place and use reference Aviemore26.

Those on my list to go are:

Dave M
Phil H
Derek W
Brian Y
Claire A
Martin P
Gav H
Matthew D
Dave C
Ewart P
Neil D
David Cu

Plus a reserve of Giles C

Cheers!

The weekend trip to Raven Crag in Great Langdale is now only four weeks away. Can those that are going confirm their place by paying their £42 to the club account if they haven’t done so already. I’ll post the account details on WhatsApp. I will create a reserve list if needed and reserves will be confirmed onto the trip if payment is not received by Friday the 13th of June.

I have the following names on my list and there are still some places available. If you would like to come or if you can’t now make it please let me know asap.

Dave M
Jenny G
Phil H
Virginie H
Carwyn E
Emma W
Elise P
Dan C
John L
Tracey H
Will M
Meg H
David G
Laurence L
Alex D
Laura E
Paulina M

The trip is open to all. Raven Crag is an easy place to get to with walking, climbing and scrambling literally on the the doorstep. The trip will provide a great opportunity to introduce new members and to share knowledge and experience. If anyone is unsure about what is needed or may have to borrow equipment do not hesitate to get in touch.

Cheers!

Dave M
