Meet Report: 20-22 April 2018.

This meet was relocated after a mix up over the booking at the Derbyshire Pennine Club’s Stoney Middleton hut. Initially moved to Eyam Youth Hostel (full), then to Lowstern (full), it finally ended up at Low Hall Garth.

Only five members attended, which was a shame as the weekend turned out to be the hottest of the year so far. Alan Clare and John Lloyd walked from the hut via Greenburn and through Coniston to the Ship Inn where they met up with the others for a meal.

The three octogenarians (total age 250) went to the boat museum at Windermere but it was closed, so they went to Tarn Hows for a walk. Not mountains, just hummocks as one remarked.

After the late afternoon meal the two walkers carried on to Torver but due to bad map reading they climbed high above the old railway track. They met up with the others in Torver and crammed into Ian’s car for the return to LHG.

A weekend of glorious weather.

Attendees: Alan Clare, John Lloyd, Ian Crowther, John Jenkin, Derek Clayton (author).
