Weather depending, we might be on our Scottish leg of the weekend on Saturday. I'll fb msg you my number.

Update: husband ill and if he's not fit i will come up on my own.

We're heading to Borrowdale on Friday morning to bag a few more Chairman's Challenge points.

Stew, your plan sounds a very good one. However, it's not one that I can join in on. My plan hinged on leaving Catherine with David for a few hours while we walked up, bivvied and then descended. With so few signing up I'd end up walking up on my own which, in the dark, is not a great idea. I'm also...

I'd like to come and, if there are spaces available, David too.

Lou, may I order 1x cotton fit women's t-shirt (S) in red?

Many thanks
Naomi

Myself, Catherine and probably David intend to camp. This is however weather dependent. As for the bivvy bit, we've yet to decide.

Naomi

You'll be pleased to know that the weather is as bad as forecast.

Sounds like a good plan but I doubt that I'd be able to convince Catherine to walk up Snowdon, never mind in the dark and sleep up there

We could still camp though

I'll be at Ty'n Lon anyway for Tradfest. Sunday looks much better ....

Anyone considering a plan B?

I'm staying at Ty'n Lon because of Tradfest so not camping.
Will walk and bivvy on top. Subject to Tradfest commitments, David may come too.

Pity that we didn't camp out after all. We went for a walk after leaving the pub. Stunning evening.

Sounds like a good plan Stew, except for the 9am part. I'm looking for my Classic Rock ticks and there's 3 to go at the Popular End.

I can highly recommend the steak pie at The Grouse.

Due to an ongoing cold I'm going to stay in Sheffield. Let me know what your plans are and i'll try and meet up with you.

Did you investigate Hardhurst Farm where I don't think the Ceunant have ever needed a deposit? Hardhurst Farm is just off the main road between Hathersage and Hope. It is quite a large site but it does have DOE groups sometimes, hence recommending checking. There's a pub nearby called the Traveller'...
