19/03/16 – 20/03/16
Rob P & Mike P went caving down the Big Dig Series in Carlswark on Saturday afternoon. Food, and a session in the Moon followed. Staying at the hut were Hood, Clowes, Shawcross brothers, Peppit brothers, Walker & Boswell.
Sunday’s weather was better than the forecast, and it was truly sunny and spring like. Consequently, the climbers had an enjoyable day on Froggatt, climbing the classic routes. Syd, Rob & Mike ended the fine day by walking back to the hut via Eyam.
The walkers (with part timer Crowson) walked from the hut and along the Edges to Higgar Tor and Stanage Edge. The Fox House was investigated before an eventual about turn took them back to the hut, arriving last.
The lone leader and cyclist (with a damaged knee) mounted his Brompton and cycled a circular route via Hassop to eventually meet up with climbers briefly on Froggatt, before heading back for his cooking responsibilities, which resulted in a hot chilli.
