    Meet at car park next to tearoom GR 006 612 shown on map as Paddock farm. There is ample parking and payment is £5 cash into honesty milk churn
    Given the ample parking I think a 10 am start would be ok as this is the morning after the ceilidh.

    Route is Hen Cloud, Roach End, Blackbank farm, Hazelbarrow farm and return to start. Distance is 13 km ie 8 miles
    The first part of the day will include some easy scrambling and weaselling, these are very suitable for anyone who doesn’t usually climb, and can be easily bypassed. A helmet will be necessary for this. If anyone needs to borrow a club helmet please let me know by Thursday so I have time to get it for you.

    The second part of the day is a walk with very short detours to 2 aircraft crash sites.
    I will be going over there anyway but it would be kind if people let me know they are coming

    Three of us, Bill , Weaver and myself had a really enjoyable day over the Roaches We did wait 10 minutes to accomodate any late arrivals but no messages received so we went,
    Weather was much better than expected although North East wind on the skyline area and over towards the trig point was strong but not enough to cause any problem.

    The scrambling was drier than i anticipated we only encountered a couple of damp bit s at the beginning otherwise the the rock was dry.

    A good day had by all involved thanks for the company
