Mercian Mountaineering Club

Hello Mercians

The next meet is at High House in Borrowdale. This is a nice hut ideally located for access to the higher mountains in the Lake District. Great Gable is 3km, and Scarfell Pike a 5km walk from the hut. If (winter) conditions are in Great End is just over an hour away for some ice climbing. If (spring) conditions are in you could bag some Chairmans Challange points, with an alpine start and an accent of Needle Ridge. Napes Needle would also be worth a go, since its there. The black sail mountain bike route goes past the front door. The possibilities are endless.

The last time the club stayed here we had some outstanding winter conditions, all bathed in blazing sunshine. The A team took the opportunity to do some ice climbing on Great End. While the B team wrote a strongly worded letter to the Faff, complaining about how good the A team are. Not this year, Fabien will be attending and making the step up to the A team. He will then follow it up with a Faff article about how awesome it is to be in the A team.

Price is £10/night. 26 beds available. Sign up quick, we all know those 26 beds will be gone in next to no time.

Please sign up Duncan and Geoff.

I think I have got the right hut this time!

Thanks Mike

Please add my name to the list.
I will arrive on Friday at the hut at about 3pm. Could I have the hut key?

Sign me up please! I've very cunningly sorted meetings at my Birmingham office on the Friday so please can I request a lift from Brum?

Yep I'm in.

Please add myself and Jenna for this meet. Thanks.

It's my birthday on the 13th so I'm commandeering this as my birthday meet! I'll see if I can supply a barrel of ale from my housemate for the Saturday night (pending Sunday forecast)

Party hats on top of climbing helmets will be madatory

I'm happy to cook a meal on Saturday night. It will contain meat, but beyond that I'm not sure what it will be. I'm thinking spag bol.

Yes please to food Stew.

I'm be leaving straight from work in Derby so can't offer a lift sorry Chloe.

Sign me up to food please Stew.
