May 2024 – Peak District – Camping

24-26 May

The first official camping trip of 2024 was to the Peak District.

As usual we stayed at Hardhurst Farm over the May Bank Holiday. Members arrived Friday throughout the day into the evening with the lucky ones being able to leave early to take advantage of an extra day’s activities. One early group headed for Stanage popular to do some trad while the other headed to Burbage North. By the time the climbers were off the crag the rest of the groups has arrived making a good turnout of 22. Supper for some of us was at the pub while the rest stayed at the campsite and cooked their own food.

February 2024 – North Yorkshire

16-18 February 2024
By Gill

Ten of us participated in the February weekend trip to my favourite hut in North Yorkshire, Lowstern, near Ingleton. Some of us went up on the Thursday evening so we had the benefit of an extra day.

On Friday morning Andy, Dan and Kent drove over to the Howgills and did a circular hike from Sedbergh via Cautley Spout. They didn’t have the best views, it was a foggy day. The Howgills are a new area for the club and I hadn’t really considered them. There really is so
