Mercian Mountaineering Club

I’ve booked for a small tent and car as well.

Glad to hear it’s a good site as the whole family are there for half term week at the end of the month!

Phil - I have pm’d you.

I have also been looking at the weather and it’s remaining very windy tomorrow making even a walk pretty unpleasant. The webcams also look like there’s not a lot of snow left and what is there will be powder. Karl/ phil - hope you find something to climb and be careful! I knew I shouldn’t have bough...

Might be worth everyone bringing plenty of water as I would have thought it likely that pipes will be frozen in the hut.

Hi all I can bring my wifes crampons (c2) and will throw in a spare walking axe. I am also keen to get there tonight. I am happy to eat out. I am going up from Stafford after work today so if anyone wants a lift from mine they are welcome (pm me). You can leave a car or two at mine on the drive. Not...

Meat for me please Sarah.

Thanks

Joe

Yes, thanks sarah. Not sure what you have planned but i’m almost certainly in for food.

Joe

Thanks

Stew - i’ll give the haggis a go, thanks. Believe it or not I’ve never had it before but happy to give it a try! Beth/Fran - I reckon I can make this with a veg stock. It should be tasty and hot which is what will be needed looking at the forecast! I will make it tomorrow so i’ll do enough for every...

Sorry for the confusion folks - badly worded explanation. The soup is NOT veggie but I can avoid the butter to make it dairy free if it’s needed. It’s made with beef stock. I could try a veg stock but no idea what it would taste like!

Joe

How about a French Onion Soup to start? Not veggie but I should be able to make it dairy free. With French bread and gruyrere (optional).

Nice and warming after a day out in the snow!

Joe

Hi Adam

Happy new year!

Please can you count me in.

Joe

That sounds good, thanks Mike. I will head to the hut first then.

Planning to get there by 7 at the latest but I can get there earlier if needed.
