Present: Bob (organiser), Rhoda, Annie, Julie & sprogs (Tom, Ed, Amy) Despite a report of extremely poor weather conditions before this trip, which seemed to put many people off, the faithful were indeed rewarded! Friday saw all of three people meet at Tom’s Field. The evening weather was calm and warm for April but we […]

Present: Keyna (organiser), Shaun, Alan, Claire, Sarah, Maggie, Adriana, Anthony, Andrea, Tarinee Location: Brecon YH Putting an extra post-Easter trip in the calendar turned out to be a good idea: ten of us met up in the village of Groesffordd, making our way to the local pub shortly after bagging our beds in the hostel […]

Present: Claire (organiser), Alan, Si, Bruce, Maika, Sarah, Adriana, Belinda, Richard N Location: Runnage Farm bunkhouse, Postbridge Our accommodation for the weekend was in the relatively luxurious centrally heated Granary Bunkhouse at Runnage Farm near Postbridge.

Present: Dan (organiser), Beckie, Sarah, Alan, Claire, Bruce “I seem to have misplaced Ambleside.” “This hostel costs how much for a dorm place?” “Call this a pub?” “No sausages. Again.” “How on earth did they complete that climb/ski that mountain/survive that fall?” The above quotes pretty much encapsulate another visit to the Kendal Mountain Film […]

Present: Dan (organiser), Richard S, Martin B, Alan, Claire, Sarah, Martin L, Marion, Alison, Paul H Tyncornel (or Ty’n-y-Cornel, depending on your language preference) bunkhouse was booked on a last minute whim for the same weekend last year, and proved to be a surprise outside contender for the Trip of the Year award. So we […]

Present: Pokey (organiser), Annie, Maggie, Paula, Beckie, Dan, Charlie, Martin L, Simon H This year’s autumn trip to the Peak District saw us returning to the Thorpe Farm bunkhouses near Hathersage.
