Meet Report: 25-27 October 2024. Held at Carlswark Cottage.

Meet Report: 13-15 August. Held at the Agnes Spencer Memorial Hut, Grisedale. The Agnes Spencer hut is situated just off the A592 at Grisedale Bridge. Most members found it without difficulty, some had more trouble. This was attributed to the hut sign blending in with the stone of the cottage. There were 10 people at […]

Meet Report: 19-21 July 2024. The meet gathered on Friday evening at the Climbers Club’s May Cottage in Maiden Wells, some 3 km from Pembroke Town.

Meet Report: 10-12 May 2024. Held at Beeches Farm campsite in the Wye Valley. This meet was surely a first for the Yorkshire Ramblers’ Club. It was a small affair but out of the four attending, three were from the distaff side. It all went very well apart from the one input from the fourth […]

Meet Report 1-3 March 2024. Held 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 […]

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. Herld 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.
