Past trips
July 2024:
For our first trip of the year we went to the southern sandstone crags in Kent, visiting Harrison's rocks on the Saturday and Bowles rocks on the Sunday.
August 2024:
On the weekend 10th & 11th August 2024, we had our second club trip of the year. This trip was well attended with a good mix of old and new members, for one of whom it was his first outdoor trip! It was great to see everyone. On Saturday, we met at Stanage Edge near Hollin Bank. We climbed several routes between us. The weather was decidedly mixed with sunny spells and a rainy squall in the afternoon, which saw us diving for cover under some of the larger boulders. After camping at Pindale Farm, we resumed climbing on Sunday at Lawrence Field. The weather was very warm and sunny, a nice contrast to the previous day. Some members joined later, after visiting Outside in Hathersage. Two participants also joined us for only this day. Again, we climbed a variety of routes between us, with top ropes being put up on harder routes for club members to try. All in all, this was a great trip and hopefully enjoyed by all!
September 2024:
For out September tip we went Sport climbing in North Yorkshire. On the Saturday we went to Gigglewick south, with some newer club members doing there first outdoor leads.
On the Sunday bad weather forced us to retreat south and we climbed at Horse-Thief quarry in the Peak District until the rain caught up with us again forcing an early end to the trip.
