I can move to another camp site a bit further away which has spaces for caravans i.e. Dick and Leon. The one I was thinking of is fairly basic no showers
BillJust so you don’t have to hunt too far for tonight’s details:
A fun and fairly simple map based quiz. Suitable for all.
Please bring along:
map-sized table or floor
Map – White Peak 1:25000 East and West sheets
Compass – best with scaling rule on side and magnifying glass
Pencil, Paper (a ruler might be handy but far from essential)
Good light
Your best glasses

John and Kathy, Dawn, Gemma, Kyle, Julian, Hugh, Linda Dave, Paul, Vanda and three prospective new members Sophie, Dave and Dee. Thanks to everyone a good days climbing, grip superb with the cooler conditions.
BillNot quite how I would put it.
1 Those who took the ‘safe ‘route fell over or slipped in the mud
2. The meet leader asked me to poise for a photo while I unsuccessfully tried to cut his bike lock. The actual deed was done by the Dowling Bros.

ElenThere was a bit of a flurry of bookings on Saturday, so I Just want to confirm who has booked. I have emailed everyone but some emails have bounced back, sorry about this.
Women
Chris K, Marian, Sue W, Vanda, Josie, Ali . I have asked the warden for two more places,: Gemma takes first place so if we get these places we have one women’s place available.Men
Mike Doyle, Sean, Steve, John M, Paul, Kial, Dave C, Gordon Tyrall, Leon.
I suggest that Andrew books in as CC member, so Russ can take his place.Potentially Andrew can book in some guests so if we do not get another female place from the hit warden, Andrew should be able to book Gemma in.
So Dave Benyon, I am sorry there’s so extra spaces unless you are a CC member or liaise with Andrew, but I will let you know if a space comes free. .
Sorry Russ, we have a bit if a waiting list, as Gemma and Kial emailed first. But I’ll see if I can get a couple more spaces. Chris, thanks for letting us know., have a good trip to Whitby.
Langdale is officially full but let me know if you want to come an we will see if we can get a couple of extras spaces.
Bill and Elen will bring jacket potatoes for all and salads for all . We will also bring some after meal chocolate and real and decaf coffee . And booze . Thanks Marianne .
Hello
I’m booking 6 tents for the Gower at Nicholaston Farm. Friday 13th July to Sunday 15th. I don’t suppose it will be difficult to extend the stay if anyone wants to

plus one spareThe cost is £11 per person per night at group rates (TBC). Otherwise the cost is £24 per night for a small tent.

Re your email on midweek climbing:- I have had three evenings this year where only one other person has turned up, but that is sufficient and Millstone when no one else arrived, usually people at the crags take sympathy and let you climb with them!
!. The choice is fine and as I have not been climbing for 30 years not remotely fed up with Stanage, I could still have a fortnights full time holiday there.
2. I have not had a regular climbing partner for some time, seem to manage though, yes the fear of having to climb solo stops me!
3. I don’t usually contact anyone but easily could do, I think if I was leading the meet I would try to contact people in the future as last year did a Sunday meet at Froggatt where no one turned up having said that John arrived later by which time I had left unfortunately. Another club I occasionally climb with go for a drink afterwards and decide the venue for the next week and then email like mad the day before climbing checking weather , location is OK and who else is going.
4. Hopefully not necessary for the evening meets.
5. Not yet applicable but may be the reason why lacking climbing people as have already climbed during the midge free day!
6. If people want partners to climb with it is simple enough to put an email out, we all have Castle Club addresses and phone nos so can contact people if we want.
Unfortunately stating the obvious the crux of the problem is that we do not have any teen, twenties, thirties and not so many forties members of which I’m sure in the past there were plenty of.
I do quite like the alternative Tues and Wed meets.
Bill
