Seven couples returned to the Derwentwater Hotel in Portinscale, used two years previously for the Club’s annual Social meet on half board terms for four nights; three for Peter and Ann, Tim and Elaine.

Meet Report: 14-16 June 2019. Eight members assembled on Friday evening at the Climbers’ Club hut Ynys Ettws, ideally and idyllically situated for climbing on the many and varied crags in the Llanberis Pass.

Meet Report: 26-28 April 2019. Probably due to being just one week after the Easter weekend, the Spring LHG meet was attended by a select band of members and one prospective member. Friday afternoon saw Team Humphreys clock up a tour de Tilberthwaite, via the newly repaired track previously frequented by the 4×4 crowd, the […]

Meet Report: 18-20 January 2019. After being spoilt by the weather on last year’s visit to Snowdonia, there was both a mixed forecast and consequently mixed expectations for the weekend. We were staying at the Tan-y-Wyddfa hut in Rhyd-Ddu, owned by our kindred club The Oread Mountaineering Club. The hut is well positioned with easy […]

Meet Report: 1-3 January 2019. “Out with the old and in with the new” is a saying which feels apposite for this meet. Obviously, we are done with the 2018 meets and starting with 2019’s.

Meet Report: 24-26 August 2018. Most of the meet had arrived at Lowstern by Friday evening. The original leader had to cancel at short notice because of unexpected work commitments; the replacement was unable to get there until later, so the assembled community had to fend for themselves for Saturday breakfast. By the time the […]

Meet Report: 15-17 June 2018. Participants in this meet who had spent the week watering gardens were the first to find where all the rain had gone-the Lake District!

Meet Report: 23-26 April 2018.
