| PLEASE NOTE: | |||
| (i) Please let the co-ordinator know you are attending a meet. | |||
| (ii) Do check emails/ watsapp for details and changes to meets (as well as this diary). | |||
|
(iii) CLIMBING - scheduled meets every other Wednesday evening and Sunday daytime (attendees choose venues for the intervening dates). Over winter we generally climb indoors. In addition, some lucky climbers get out during the day on Mondays and Fridays with venue dependent upon preferences and weather. Contact Alex Veitch, Jon Shields or Gill Radcliffe if interested. |
|||
| (iv) WALKING - the last Sunday of the month (10am) unless stated otherwise and usually for approx 10 miles/16. | |||
| (v) AWAY MEETS (weekends, Huts, longer trips). You must book in advance and contact the co-ordinator for details. | |||
| (vi) FAMILIES usually welcome on meets with children under the supervision of parents/guardians. Do check with the meet co-ordinator through as some meets are unsuitable for under 18s. | |||
