    There have been a few offers/suggestions for the new Meets List which will be finalised on Thursday at the committee meeting.
    However, we do need more volunteers please.
    If anybody has any more suggestions and, even more importantly, can offer to organise a meet, please contact me ASAP.
    These will be Sunday meets, mainly walks/scrambles but anything considered. X country skiing may be possible if the weather allows.
    Cheers

    THIS SUNDAY’S WALK 21ST NOVEMBER
    Instructions to reach the start.
    Not difficult to find but as out of the usual familiar Peak area I thought I’d post the details.
    Take the A57 towards Worksop (or via Junction 31 of the M1).
    From the M1 junction the A57 continues as a dual carriageway. Continue to the first roundabout (Todwick).
    TURN LEFT towards Dinnington.
    After a mile or two on entering the built up area look out for a huge DHL WAREHOUSE.
    TURN LEFT immediately OPPOSITE. this onto ROTHERHAM RD..
    Follow this for a short while to a crossroads with a main road.
    Cross straight over the main road onto HANGMAN’S LANE.
    Very soon a prominent church spire will be seen on a hill.
    Travel up the hill entering Laughton-en-le-Morthen, passing a school on the left.
    PARK before the crossroads near a bus stop and congregate by the prominent red STOP sign for a 10 am start. Walk is 8 miles.
    Cheers
    Paul.

    REMINDER OF THIS COMING SUNDAY’S WALK
    Also realised I hadn’t put a start time, so as Gemma’s curry on Saturday night is now later let’s say meet at 10am.

    A bit of a change of scenery from the Peak, east of the M1 (just).
    Starting from the quaintly named Laughten-en-le-Morthen the focus of the walk is the Cistercian Roche Abbey coupled with what the guidebook describes as “endless panoramic views”!
    The walk is circular, 8 miles long (13km)and includes riverside walking, stepping stones and “the most redundant OS trig point in Britain”! So plenty of interest.
    Unlikely that the tea shop at the Abbey will be open, so bring provisions, the pub at the end MAY be open.
    According to Google Maps it takes 37 mins to get there via the A57.
    Parking at grid ref SK 520881 by the bus stops on School Rd close to junction with High Street. OS Sheet 279 Doncaster South.
    Hope to see you there.
    Paul Gibson.

    Must admit we didn’t check the Meets List but should work really well! An hour’s abseiling then sit and pick books about routes which need abseils.
    We’re still going to pub for tea first though, hope not to get into abseiling off situations again, been there, done that.
    Cheers
    Paul and Vanda.

    Update. Vanda and I are going for tea in the Rising Sun first. From 7pm if anybody wants to join us.
    We’ll 0get the heating on early so the Clubroom should be toasty warm by 8pm.

    That’s ok for us for curry. Not AW though especially as I’m supposed to lead the Sunday walk.

    Think your calendar has gone back with the clocks. Sat 23rd was Ovtober!!
    Which Saturday in November do you mean?
    We would like a curry if the date fits.

    Above is route of Sunday’s Half Marathon which means road closures so need to plan to avoid in order to reach Stanage from Sheffield.
