21-23rd June 2024 at the Ty’n Cornel Hostel, Tregaron. The former YHA hostel, reckoned to be the most remote in Wales, lies in the Elenydd Wilderness, a land of beautiful river valleys, lakes, forests and moors. The Club has rarely, if ever, visited this area so this weekend offers new experiences for all of us. […]

11-13th June 2024 at Low Hallgarth. Relax and roam in this relatively quiet corner of the Lake District during some of its quieter days.  Plenty of scope for walking, scrambling, climbing and drinking (in the views). Not only a social gathering and an opportunity for some exercise but also a chance to inspect the recent work […]

Meet report 1-3rd March 2024 at Tan y Garth, Capel Curig. Standing a little east of Capel Curig, by the start of the path up Moel Siabod, the comfortable Gwydyr Mountain Club’s Tan-y-Garth hut made a good base for days out on that mountain, the Glyders and the Carneddau.  The hut’s sleeping area and kitchen […]

26-28th April 2024 at the Conistone Hostel, a converted Methodist Chapel in the village of Conistone just North of Grassington in Wharfedale. Members will need little introduction to this part of the Dales with its extensive moorland and low level walking along with climbing, caving and mountain biking opportunities. After the New Year LHG meet […]

10-12 May 2024 at the Beeches Campsite, Chepstow. This is a new area for the YRC. Although it is by no means mountainous there is excellent climbing, both sport and traditional on the limestone crags of Wintour’s Leap, Shorncliff and Wyndcliff, all within easy reach. Beautiful forest and river walks abound and there is ample […]

25th May-1 June 2024 at the SMC’s Naismith hut in the hamlet of Elphin between Ullapool and Inchnadamph in the NW Highlands. A fabulous area for walking scrambling and climbing. You can even go caving if you want. The opportunities for adventure are just about limitless. It is a long way away though so car […]

Meet Report: 8-10 December 2023. Above Kettlewell, at 467m high on the slopes of Great Whernside, Hag Dyke has a special place in the hearts of long-standing members, having seen a string of meets in living memory. It was the finish point of the seven peaks long walk in June 1978 when the start was […]

Meet Report: 17-19 November 2023 at the Falcon Manor Hotel, Settle. To begin at the beginning, four years ago six members arrived at their last cabin on a week’s ski tour in Norway. With the strong, cold wind behind them it had been good day: over a pass, down a series of lakes, crossing a […]

10-13 February 2024. We return to Inbhir Fhaolain, the Grampian Club’s hut in Glen Etive after a gap of seven years. Derek Bush used to be the doyen of Etive meet leaders; Chris Hilton has ably stepped up in his place and will be providing the traditional haggis. Sadly (or happily) he can’t play the […]

1-3 March 2024 at the Gwydyr MC’s hut Tan-y-Garth in Capel Curig. https://www.gwydyrmc.org.uk/ . The hut lies in a very peaceful, scenic area of woodland at the base of Moel Siabod, and the area around Tan-y-Garth is rich in wildlife, birds and pipistrelle bats. Aside from the mountains, the Gwydyr forest is close by, providing plenty […]
