Oread MC 75th Anniversary Celebration Camp

Oread MC are inviting members of other clubs to their 75th Anniversary Celebration Camp in September. These are the details:
OREAD 75TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION CAMP (Friday 13th, to Sunday 15th September 2024)
The Oread Mountaineering Club will be 75 years old this year and is holding several celebratory events to mark its long history and association with the Peak. In September the Oread has been fortunate to secure the exclusive use of Chatsworth’s Golden Gate campsite. The Golden Gate is the posh gate on the way into Baslow from Heathy Lea.
We are planning a number of activities for the weekend including a Barmy competition (“Best All-Round Mountaineer of the Year”) walks, climbs, bike rides and fun! More details will be released over the coming weeks and months, but it should be a great weekend, so please put it in your diary.
We would be very pleased to see members of our kindred clubs on our special camping meet and welcome their participation in the events planned for the weekend. In the interest of safety we will require registration for events and we will be asking your clubs for a contact to use in the event of an emergency.
The site can accommodate up to 70 caravans, motorhomes, campervans and tents. There is water. It is flat. There is a chemical disposal point. BBQ’s are permitted only if they are raised off the ground and there are strictly no fires. The club will arrange for toilets and showers on site. We will also most probably bring in outside caterers for one of the evenings. The cost will be £10 per placement per night.
We do have some restrictions – we can’t have a marquee and need to keep the noise down at night because there are houses not too far away.
The site is a short stroll to both Baslow village and our Heathy Lea Hut.
If your members want to book a spot, just drop a letter, email, WhatsApp or text, preferably with numbers and unit type to :
