Derwent Mountaineering Club Diary
| Updated: 5/3/22 | |||
| PLEASE NOTE: | |||
| (i) It is really helpful if you let the co-ordinator know you are attending a meet. For Hut and away meets it is essential you book in advance. | |||
| (ii) We have avoided clashes as far as possible (difficult though with so much activity!). Members organise many other activities during the year so please check emails/ watsapp and the diary for updates. | |||
|
(iii) CLIMBING - scheduled meets every other Wednesday evening + Sundays (giving the opportunity for meets on the alternate dates): Wednesday: 5pm at the crag Sundays: 10am at the car park Note over winter we usually climb indoors on Wed eve at Wirksworth Wall (tho check emails for any changes). In addition, some lucky climbers get out during the day on Mondays and Fridays with venue dependent upon preferences and weather. Contact Mike Irwing or Jon Shields if interested. |
|||
| (iv) WALKING - the last Sunday of the month (10:30am) unless stated otherwise. | |||
| (v) AWAY MEETS (w/es, Huts, longer trips). You must book in advance and contact the co-ordinator for details. | |||
