Here is the December Newsletter.  Contents President’s Message By way of introduction, especially for those who don’t know me, I’ve been around the YRC for quite some time. My journey with the Club began at the annual dinner in 1976 at the Cairn Hotel in Harrogate, where the illustrious Peter Boardman was the guest speaker. […]

27th February to 2nd March 2025 at the Ochils MC Inverardran Cottage in Crianlarich. Located at the North end of Loch Lomond and a relatively short journey from Glasgow, Crianlarich is surrounded by Munros and not too far from Glen Coe or Killin. We have 18 places booked at Inverardran Cottage, a warm and comfortable […]

17-19th January 2025 at our hut Low Hall Garth. This will be the third generation of Crowthers to host the New Year meet. We always hope for snow but in any event this will be a chance to burn off the excesses of the festive season and make a good start to 2025. Michael will […]

7-9th February 2025 at Ty Powdwr, the Karabiner Mountaineering Club’s hut in Dinorwig, near Llanberis. Situated above the ancient forests that rise above Llyn Padarn, Ty Powdwr was originally the black powder store for the nearby abandoned Llanberis quarries. It provides easy access to Elidir Fawr and the Glyders as well as fascinating explorations around […]

Meet Report: 25-27 October 2024 at Carlswark Cottage. Stoney Middleton lies between the deeply incised White Peak valleys and wide-open moors of the Dark Peak offering climbers near endless climbs on both limestone and grit. All around are culturally significant locations including Eyam, Chatsworth, scores of Stone, Bronze and Iron Age sites, and old lead […]

13-15th December 2024 at our Yorkshire Dales hut near Clapham. Get in the festive mood with log fires, good food and excellent company. There will be some presentations on recent Club activities but they won’t be allowed to go on too long. Santa and Mrs Claus will be played by Rod and Yayoi Smith, helped […]

Meet Report: 4-6 October 2024 This was an enjoyable visit to one of the Lake District’s remoter spots with the advantage of the Lower Gillerthwaite Field Centre being well up the valley, with better access to the higher peaks. One of the greatest challenges of the weekend was getting there. The early arrivals drove straight […]

Meet Report: 13-15 September 2024. The Bryn Hafod hut lies at the head of Cwm Cywarch above the village of Dinas Mawddwy and beneath the line of mountains that make up the Aran ridge.  Less visited than nearby Cadair Idris and Snowdon, it makes for an attractive destination for those looking for less populated and […]

Meet Report: 23-26 August 2024. The second half of August brings around our customary Introductory Meet held as usual at Lowstern.  Those attending, a small but select bunch, assembled on the Friday evening after travelling from various locations with the longest travel award going to Paul Dover and granddaughter Lucy for their ten-plus hour journey […]

Meet Report: 13-15 August at the Agnes Spencer Memorial Hut, Grisedale. The Agnes Spencer hut is situated just off the A592 at Grisedale Bridge. Most members found it without difficulty, some had more trouble. This was attributed to the hut sign blending in with the stone of the cottage. There were 10 people at the […]
