17/05/2019 - 19/05/2019 12 members and 1 guest attended… there were no survivors! A "bakers dozen" enjoyed the amenities of this excellent and well situated hut. The weather was cool and mainly cloudy - though dry. Good walking weather with some partial cloud cover on the high tops. The Meet Leaders hid their wives (1 …
A Weekend in Snowdonia
12/04/2019 - 14/04/2019 Friday, two climbing cars left early, Jon & Rob climbing at Rhoscolyn and then buying the food, whilst Mike and Sam stopped off on the coast road near Conway and climbed some sport routes on a limestone crag. Saturday, Mike and Sam went off to climb Main Wall and Reade’s Route, both …
Whernside
17/03/2019 Syd and I had a surprisingly good walk on Sunday. Better weather than expected, clear views to a snowy Ingleborough and some interesting limestone features on route. We passed Rowten Pot on our return along the Turbary Road above Kingsdale. We were not troubled by surface water on our route. Whernside was quite snowy …
A Walk in Rain of Biblical Proportions
15/03/2019 - 17/03/2019 Ben and I set off from Sheffield after eating a massive plate of noodles in a West Street Chinese Restaurant. Earlier in the evening, walking around the supermarket with Ben, it occurred to me that I have never seen food through the eyes of someone with a dietary condition before; even a …
Derwent Edge Walk & Titan – Peak
17/02/2019 The walkers met at 9.30 by Ladybower Reservoir and walked up to Derwent Edge passing various tors enroute including Whinstone Lee Tor and Back Tor, before heading to Lost Lad. The view was clear, with only some haze in the distance. We then walked down the track into the valley to have lunch out …
Walk over Kinder
20/01/2019 Six brave souls assembled beyond Barber Booth for 9.30 and were off by 9.45. Just before Jacobs Ladder, Phil cut off up the snowy hillside on a path (a fell runners route?). After apparently weaving up the hillside in the mist we came to the edge of the path before striking off exactly to …
Xmas Walk & Feast
16/12/2018 The cavers, on a grotty day and grottier and wetter evening, persevered with their unique candle lit equipment and eventually waded out to the top of the Dale and Layby Pot. Jon has promised one of his lengthy but readable stories. The walkers arrived on a lovely, but fresh morning, to find the four …
DPC Christmas Festivities 2018
15/12/18 - 16/12/18 “You can come caving if you want. The cave has even been picked with you in mind!” said Rob. “We’re doing it by candle light and everyone will be frisked to make sure no one has a torch.” Whilst living in Sussex as a child, I could not begin to understand why …
Chelmorton Walk #2
21/10/2018 Walkers met at the club hut and the majority availed themselves of the official transport whilst the overspill went with Cotton. This process was predictably chaotic and, in part, explains why Clowes was left behind. Rumours that members wished to avoid further discussion on matters H&S are, of course, entirely disingenuous. The group re-united …
Walk from Hartland Quay
17/09/2018 Following various adventures on the Saturday, either involving rough sea crossings to climb on Lundy; waiting for the tide to fall to access the cliffs at Baggy Point or walking across Exmoor to be fortified by cream teas chez Milne, about half the party elected to join a walk around Hartland Point on Sunday. …
