Outdoor Meets

Lake District long weekend

Currently there has been limited interest in this meet and looks like it will be a last minute decision if it happens or not depending on the weather and if everyone is free.  If you're interested get in contact with us as soon as possible.

We're currently looking at having a long weekend trip up to the Lake District for some winter walking but only looking to see if there is any interest in it at the moment so this meet (and the date) are not confirmed.  The date is expected to be around the end of February or beginning of March if it does take place.

If you are interested in attending let us know as soon as possible.

Easter trip to the Peak District

This is a trip up to the Peak District, we normally have this trip every year in April and stay in the Mandale House Camping Barn and this year is no different.  This will be the first time in a few years that we've tried going over the Easter period but hopefully as it's falling early this year it won't be as crowded and we'll probably be climbing in the less populated areas.  Get in touch with us soon as the accommodation is cooked and starting to fill up.

Start date: 06/04/2012

End date: 09/04/2012

Activities: Trad climbing, Hillwalking and Mountain Biking

Outdoor Meets

Lundy

This will be the first time the HMA have been to Lundy in quite some time, we've decided on this weekend as the tide should be low around midday (spring tides) and allow us to get lots of good climbing in.

Get in contact with us soon if you're interested in going so we can book accommodation (might just end up camping though) and transport soon while it's cheaper.  Although currently there is no limit on the members attending this meet it will depend on how many the accommodation will hold when it is booked, assuming we're not camping.

Spain

This will be the yearly Spain trip again which has always proven quite popular, so if you're interested make sure you let us know but an email will go around quite some time before the meet happens.  We've not decided on what area we'll be going to yet but it'll probably be around the same area as last year (Benidorm).

The dates for this meet are not fixed but it will be around September / October depending on the school holidays and what date suits the club members best.

Generally a large meal is cooked for everyone on the Saturday night with everyone putting a small some of cash in to cover the cost on top of the accommodation costs.  Although currently the accommodation hasn't been booked we normally (and this year will probably be no different) stay at Penmaenucha Farm.
