April 5-12th 2025 at the Villa Mandarina in Calpe. Those who have been on one of these excellent Spanish spring meets will need no recommendation. For those new to the area suffice to say that there are almost limitless opportunities for mountain walking, scrambling, climbing and canyoning in an area of great beauty, particularly at […]

10-17th May 2025 at the Croft Bunkhouse in Portnalong on the West coast of Skye, 8 miles from Sligachan. The bunkhouse is within easy reach of the Cuillin and all the other attractions of the island. This will be our first visit to Skye for some years so we hope to attract a lot of […]

Meet Report: 10-12 May 2024. Held at Beeches Farm campsite in the Wye Valley. This meet was surely a first for the Yorkshire Ramblers’ Club. It was a small affair but out of the four attending, three were from the distaff side. It all went very well apart from the one input from the fourth […]

Meet Report: 26-28 April 2024. The meet was held at the Conistone village hostel, formerly the old Methodist church. Several members were already in the area having attended the Committee meeting on Thursday at Lowstern. So, on Friday, Mick drove up to Carlingill Bridge in the Howgills and walked the pleasant circuit around the Carlin […]

Meet Report: 22-24 March 2024. Held at FRCC’s Brackenclose Hut. The author of this report exhorted (harangued?) the meet attendees to elevate their offering about their activities to a level of purple prose not previously experienced by our readers. Several questioned the meaning of purple prose. Here is an example from Simon Jenkins, extolling Sheffield […]

Meet Report 1-3 March 2024. Held at Tan y Garth, Capel Curig. Standing a little east of Capel Curig, by the start of the path up Moel Siabod, the comfortable Gwydyr Mountain Club’s Tan-y-Garth hut made a good base for days out on that mountain, the Glyders and the Carneddau.  The hut’s sleeping area and […]

Meet Report: 8-10 December 2023. Above Kettlewell, at 467m high on the slopes of Great Whernside, Hag Dyke has a special place in the hearts of long-standing members, having seen a string of meets in living memory. It was the finish point of the seven peaks long walk in June 1978 when the start was […]

Meet Report: 17-19 November 2023. Herld at the Falcon Manor Hotel, Settle. To begin at the beginning, four years ago six members arrived at their last cabin on a week’s ski tour in Norway. With the strong, cold wind behind them it had been good day: over a pass, down a series of lakes, crossing […]

Meet Report: 15-17 September 2023. Held at the Wayfarers’ Robertson Lamb Hut. Early birds arrived on Thursday, and Mike Gregg had a long walk on Friday, despite the changeable weather. Dave Carpenter did a tour of Whymore Fell and Cathedral Cavern in the rain. Other less hardy souls arrived from Friday lunch time, hung around […]

Meet Report: 25-28 August 2023. The introductory meet at Lowstern invariably brings new faces to meet the regulars and this was no exception.  This time the five youngsters were all aged about eight and predominantly wearing pink and decided teenager Lucy was their leader – she kept them amused with great forbearance. One PM arriving […]
