17/10/21 Leisurely Sunday trip down Oxlow. Had little look at the 'other end' of the Pilgrim's Way on the way back out. (Rob, Sam, Ben, Mike P)
Caerllywyn Cottage, Brecon Beacons
16/09/21 - 19/09/21 I arrived a little later than the advanced party on Thursday evening to find the hut deserted and the advanced party, having worked up an appetite with various walks during the day, had gone to the pub. After a meal (for those who had not yet eaten) we set about trying to …
Kinder Northern Edges
18/07/21 Matt D, Mike P, and Rob P tried to escape the sweltering heat and walked up to the northern edges of Kinder. Some routes were climbed, some sunbathing was done. Swimming was enjoyed in the River Ashop on the way back down. Food back at the hut with the walkers. Lovely day. Jester Cracks …
Kinder
18/07/2021 It was great to receive the request for a meet notice for the July meet from Rob; it was now over a year since we had an official meet! A quick chat with Matt, my co-leader made the decision easy enough – Kinder Scout! The climbers planned to visit the Northern Edges to seek …
A Walk on Bleaklow
23/05/2020 This was the first DPC Sunday meet since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020 and a small party of walkers met at Birchen Clough Bridge car park on the A57 Snake Road. The car park was full – perhaps a reflection of this being the first weekend after the relaxation of …
Bull Pot Farm
13/03/20 - 15/03/20 Five of us set off across the moor to Lancaster Hole on the Saturday morning full with an excellent breakfast, marred only slightly by the subpar cereal on offer. Rob and I had been into Easegill a few times now but it was all new for McBain, Ed and Syd (not counting …
Nettle
16/02/20 The Cavers chose Nettle because it wouldn’t be prone to flooding. Unfortunately Storm Dennis not only flattened the molehills, but provided a continuous spray of water down the entrance shaft. They descended Elizabeth, for Ben a first, and he was provided with the history. The Flats either way were explored briefly and then the …
Edale Skyline
16/02/2020 Five walkers, following a very wet drive out thanks to Storm Dennis, met below Mam Tor for an Upper Edale Valley Round, via Mam Tor, Hollins Cross, Ollerbrook, Ringing Roger, Kinder South Edge to Edale Cross and Brown Knoll, with return along Rushup Edge. After a wet start, Phil left at Hollins Cross, pleading …
Winter Sun at Stanage
19/01/20 The cavers abandoned their original plans and decided to stay outside and enjoy some winter sun. We had a a gloriously crisp sunny day at Stanage where I don't think we climbed anything but 3* star routes... including Mississippi Buttress, Mississippi Variant, Cave Arete and Black Magic among others. Lovely stuff. (Mike P, Rob …
A Walk on the Northern Edges of Kinder
19/01/2020 The meet leaders (Phil C and David A) joined the seven others who would form the walking party just before 9.30am at the Birchen Clough car park. It was a beautiful, clear sunny day – a real bonus after the wet and miserable weather which had characterised much of the later part of 2019 …
