Trips & Meets

Hello hello!!
April is almost upon us and time soon for some awesome meets! First New Members and after that a visit to the South of the Peak District!

Ay up me duck!!

A land of superb crags…from the wee to the grand…from the tame to the brutal!

South Peaks are a busy place, hence we will be camping! A bit early in the year I hear you cry…but no fear the weather gods will smile on us!!
Plan is to base ourselves at the Middleton Top Camp ground. 10quid a night for a small tent.

From here a 15min walk to my first ever crag…the great gritty BLACK ROCKS! Up the road the great grit of Cratcliffe. Also limestone of Willersley Castle and the adventurous High Tor. For beginners have a play at Harboro Rocks. In short loads of fun to be had!!

So sign up, sign up on the sign up sheet so I can confirm numbers to the campsite. Its gonna be a cracker!!

Just a note on the form. No need to put phone number if you would prefer to keep private. GDPR etc. :grin:
