Here’s something to get us all through this less-than-inspiring weather. Our first New Members Meet of the year is 18-19 April (or from 17th for the keen, like me) Here’s the lowdown for those who haven’t been before, sign-up sheet below.
Dates: 18-19 April
Location: NLMC cottage near Betws y Coed, North Wales. Sleeping bag, towel etc needed. Free for members, £6 p/n for guests

Whoop!

NLMC New Members Sec
NB: if you are new to the club you will need to climb with us on a Monday evening at the Castle before the meet, so we can ensure minimum safety & skills are met.
And after 1981, Richard? Did your ascent put a stop to the deaths by slaying the giant lizard monster who had been burning the climbers with his fire breath?
ps Japan is actually in March. But I’ll be in Kalymnos in April so same difference (except fewer giant lizard monsters).
Newcomers - please make sure if you sign up to the meet, you need to have climbed with me or another current club member in advance of the meet so that we can do a quick safety/skills check.
ie just come along to a Monday session at the Castle, meet us, climb for a bit, come for a beer Please contact me to arrange.
I certainly hope to attend this. Will fill in the Excel thing later, it is being unstable right now for some reason.
I live in Loughborough and will most likely travel alone unless somehow it is useful for someone to come to Loughborough by train and get in my car (which is a two-seater midlife crisis racing roller skate; room for two peoples’ climbing gear etc though!).
FYI Loughborough to Capel Curig is about 3h15min, and a train from St Pancras to Loughborough takes about 1h20mins. Maybe this is actually helpful to someone looking for a lift!
Can I request not to be the catering van like what happened last year please, if I have a passenger?
