Latest weather report for tomorrow is rain early, clearing before start of walk and sunshine by lunchtime.
Hope for another good turnout.
If anybody wants a lift we’ll be leaving High Storrs Rd about 9.15 to ensure meet leader being early. Give us a ring if you want transporting.
Cheers
Paul and Vanda.Hi Paul, yes there is room as had 2 cancelled. Sorry missed your Christmas Eve Post. You can send deposit via Bacs transfer or give me cash when I see you. £10
Did you see the recent tv programme featuring a train journey ending in Zermatt via some spectacular tunnels and scenery? Unfortunately I can’t remember which channel it was on, but well worth watching if you can find it, assuming you’ve not already seen it.
Cheers
PaulLatest Latest News.
Have now managed to secure 21 places in the hut, which means everybody on yesterday’s list can come., including reserves.
There is now ONE spare place available, may be 2 after I’ve seen Marianne this evening.
Cheers
Paul.LATEST UPDATE!
The original 15 places are full. There are several more people on the reserve list at present.
I’ve contacted the hut secretary to see if we can have any of the remaining places, although the online booking page says it’s full.
We may also be able to book a couple of members guest places, waiting for confirmation about this.
Doubt I’ll get any reply before Xmas.
Will keep everybody posted, especially those on reserve list.

John HHi Andy,
I know it’s a Thursday walk, but is it worth including on the main Meets List online.
Cheers
Paul.SUNSHINE!!! With a good number of members away climbing in Greece a sunny day was ordered to entice others out. 12 of us (zero dogs) duly convened at Linacre Reservoir for a walk which the advertised leader (Vanda) had delegated to her new husband🤣🤣.
Setting off downhill, a plus, we meandered alongside the reservoirs, with an informative mini lecture included for free. After branching off through the woods we came through an area clearly ripe for developing a new golf course, various design solutions debated.
After crossing via a mini stone bridge the only significant rise took us to a coffee stop, adjacent to a mini climbing wall, unused.
By now, hardly anybody knew where we were in an unexplored piece of Derbyshire but we were on the designated route and eventually we emerged by Wigly Primary School. More downhill took us to our lunch spot, convenient felled trees providing effective seating whilst hiding from the landowner. Post lunch we visited Brampton Church, an interesting interior and a very unusual clock face which was the subject of a quiz. The answer and explanation was given by John M.
Back via the dam wall to the cars, 6.00 miles as advertised and done by 2pm.
Cheers
Paul.Despite the rain over the last couple of days, weather looking good for tomorrow’s meet. Popular End Car park at 10am, Black Hawk area Inc Castle Chimney to start.
See you there
Paul and Vanda.If anybody wants a lift to tomorrow’s walk, get in touch. Room for 2/3 leaving at 10am.
Vanda and Paul 2665767Well it’s not Norwich City fans, wrong colour, they’re green and yellow. Leeds are blue and yellow on white but too neat for a Leeds fan.
Re parking: there is also a small campsite below Hen Cloud. If you camp Saturday night you can leave your car on site Sunday. Also has the bonus of climbing Saturday if you want.
We shan’t be there…on honeymoon!
Paul/Vanda
