As the Gritstone season is starting to come to an end, join us for a chance to get out before the onset of winter… Plans to climb trad and boulder on the best crags, following the best weather… Plans firmed up when we see the weather report.

Everything you need in Ashbourne or Buxton, up or down the main road… If we are meeting on the Eastern Grit, then shops in Hathersage and Castleton… Bank machines less available than you’d think…

Staying at YHA Ilam Hall

The hostel has a shared kitchen and a full breakfast and evening meal service… It is remote so we tend to stay at the hostel.

Hathersage is on the Sheffield to Manchester train line if we climb on the Eastern Grit. Ashbourne is the nearest transport hub to the hostel.  Get in touch with Jim if you need a lift and he’ll see if there is an option…
