I have booked https://www.coetmormill.co.uk/ for a long weekend in January, 3 nights arriving on Thursday January 13th and departing 16th January.
The mill can sleep up to 34 people (but we probably want to keep it 20 max. in the current circumstances) spread between 3 alpine style bunks and has a large fully equipped kitchen, showers and kit drying room.
Fingers crossed for snow & ice (doubtful, but we can hope) for some winter mountaineering but failing that, it’s still a great location to get a couple of good mountain days with a few scrambles thrown in.
It costs £10/night/person and I require a £10 deposit / person.
Let me know if you want to come along and I’ll add you to the list and send you bank details to transfer the deposit.People attending already are:
Kial
Leon & Josie
Matt & Rosie
Chris Lunn
Geoff Nichols
John HutchCheers
KialForecast is slightly better today with no rain after 10am.
I aim to be at the crag for 11am so leaving carpark at 10.45.
Let me know your coming please so I don’t make a wasted trip.Steve I’ll let you know before 1pm if people are still there.
Thanks
KialWeather forecast not looking the best for tomorrow with chance of rain until 11am.
I’ll assess again in the morning but forecast is pretty much the same for the whole of the peaks so not worth a change of venue.
I’ll let everyone know by 9am tomorrow if it’s still going ahead, it might just mean a slightly later start.
Can people let me know if you are thinking of coming
Thanks
KialHi Richard, only 2 routes below HS.
A few HS routes then loads of VS and above. To be fair they are easy in the grade and are longer routes so probably enough HS to keep you busy for the day.
Also a good number of two pitch routes so you can always do alternate leads and take the easier pitch.More members have booked on to this meet, we have going:
Kial
Gemma
Geoff
John Hutch
Pete HammondPlus new members:
Helen Elizabeth
Rossie & Matt
Laura & GordonI still have one space free in a 4 person lodge, again it’s a first come first served basis.
Cheers
KialWhat are people’s plans for this weekend… I’m planning to arrive around 12 o’clock tomorrow (Friday) so have the afternoon to climb or walk if anyone else is arriving early?

Meet update:
Another 3 people signed up so I have gone ahead and booked a second 4 person lodge, one space available for anyone that wants to come along – there’s been a small price increase to £158 per person.
They have had a load of bookings over the weekend so space is now limited. At present they have left:
2 person one bedroom lodge for the same dates
2 person one bedroom lodge from the 20th Feb
5 person two bedroom lodge from the 23rd Feb
Anyone else interested will have to be quick if you want space here.Update on this week away:
The lodge I have already booked has now been filled (myself, Gemma, John Hutch and Pete Hammond with Geoff staying close by).
If more are interested then I can get another 4 bed lodge booked. They still have space at present. If you can get in touch and let me know, as soon as I have enough commitment I will get a second lodge booked.Thanks
KialGreat work Gemma on drumming up so much interest for potential new members (21 people and is now turning people away) and thank you to the 13 responses we got to the initial call for help.
You’ve all wondered why you struggle to attract new members – well the reason is right in front of you, a club of approx. 80 members can only muster up a 13-person response. I find it incredibly rude that you can’t take 30 seconds to fill in the on-line form Gemma has set-up, you only need to answer two questions that are a tick box answer of ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and fill in your name.
OK not all 80 members are climbers, but you are all part of Castle Mountaineering Club but just take a minute to think what you would want from an organised day to potentially join a climbing club. I think you’ll come to the same conclusion of ‘meeting plenty of friendly faces’ that make you feel welcome?
You can all help make this day a success by just being present and chatting to the new people. Those of you that no longer climb can help by making sure the new members can actually belay. But above all please can you fill in the form to say Yes or No. Don’t text, phone or email – this can get lost – keep all response in the easy to fill in form found here: http://email.mail.castlemountaineering.com/c/eJwdjkEOwiAURE9TlgT4tMKCRVOtB-gJkH5aIhRDMV5fNJnZzOLNW80KsIqeBCOY4Exz4Ao0GyinoxyncWYKJsFmfRs6yZINkTp71ogpv49qw4FYwrFRlxPZzeAdyv7CrHYDKnDqIrWTgBblAx2XJJq91tfZwdiJucXnkk6avQ8Of4w2ldZFHaWU5X4FUswz2Eg_JWx7bQpbzlt7_4vk9AUVGDuWHi John,
Yes still space left in the lodge I’ve booked, your more than welcome to have a space.
Let me know on 07917 440918Cheers
KialNothing planned yet Chris, I just wanted to make sure the accomodation was booked.
Loads to do around that area, sure we can come up with some good routes to suit abilities of whoever goes…I’ll be climbing Saturday provided I can find a climbing partner…
Fine with an early start to beat the crowd, let me know if your going… I don’t want to turn up on my own.Cheers
Kial
