AGM 2021 (Never again let us have to do this online!)
Newfold Farm Campsite Grindsbrook Booth, Edale, Derbyshire, United Kingdom*New dates*
Here are the amended details for the AGM, with new dates. See email sent on Friday 27/2/21 before booking campsite. Please let Jim know that you are booking so that he can add you to our risk assessment.
After last year’s AGM, we are all super excited! Plans this year include camping so we have posted the dates a little later… for those who like the comfort. Camp in the heart of the Peak District at Edale, climb more Grit than you know what to do with then sit at a camp site and wave at each other… discussing the merits of Amazon toilet tents…
David Judge’s Over The Moors Trip
YHA Edale Nether Booth, Hope Valley, United KingdomA venture onto the Kinder Plateau to search out some forgotten Gritstone… this may be a day out from Nottingham or Manchester or weekend visit for those further afield… Who knows? The whole trip is really to justify the Club buying the ‘Over the Moors’ guidebook by Martin Kocsis. Plans to meet up at Edale at 09:00 on Saturday 05.06.2021. We will make plans on the day. Possible venues may include: Upper Tor, Nether Tor or The Woolpacks. If the weather is that bad, then we might just go for a walk, though Kinder Downfall might go in the rain?
Jake’s Kernow Trip
YHA Land's End Letcha Vean, St Just-in-Penwith, Cornwall, United KingdomJoin me in my home county ready to climb some classic rock routes, some lesser known inland crags and everything in between!
Return To Somerset 2021
Cheddar Cheddar, United KingdomReturn to the Club’s most southern UK bunkhouse (finally!) and aim to boulder, sport and trad climb… and then drink cider (joking!)… all within 20 minutes. This was the best trip of the year in 2019 (and nothing happened in 2020) so don’t miss out!
Portland Bill DWS Trip
Portland UKIf you’ve never tried DWS then Portland is a great spot to start. Access to the routes is easy, grades go down to sport 4+, and there are plenty of short routes over very deep water (including several traverses where you’re only just off the surface). Add to this high tides through the middle of the day, on both days and it’s like bouldering with a large, blue, splashy mat!
Peak and Snowdonia Trip August 2021
Jim and Andrew planning to meet up in the Peak District, on the Grit, for bouldering and trad. Probably spend a few days on the Eastern Grit before driving over to Snowdonia for some of the Big Easies… Something for everyone!
Trad Climbing in the Peak
Peak District , United KingdomJoin Jade and Adam on a trip to the Peak, to visit the Eastern Gritstone edges for a revision in Trad. Venues decided on the day and shared on the WhatsApp group, to get the best of the weather but the plan is to get out on the Trad and get the mileage in… bouldering, sport and trad on Limestone and hill-walking all accessible too.
Dave’s South West Lakes “Adventurous Wainwrights” Trip
Eskdale Eskdale YHA, Holmrook, Cumbria, United KingdomDave and Andrew will be resuming their quest for more adventurous ways of ascending the Wainwrights as Dave continues to tick off his second round. We will be staying in Eskdale and the plan includes scrambles up to Grade 3, including Green Crag, Harter Fell and Middle Fell, Yewbarrow or Red Pike. Scafell may also be on the agenda.
Grit for Christmas 2021
Newfold Farm Campsite Grindsbrook Booth, Edale, Derbyshire, United KingdomJoin Jim in the Peak District for a last chance to up your trad score before Christmas… Probably visiting the usual haunts and taking advantage of cold weather and good friction.
Christmas Walk 2021
Baslow Nether End Car Park, Church Lane, Baslow, Derbyshire, United KingdomChristmas training day!
Arm fatigue? Sore grip? Bad day at the crag?
You need a climbing training day to strengthen your leg muscles, perfect your footwork and reset your neural pathways!
