I have been given some sad news. On Sunday 3 June Marion Armstrong died. Marion used to do a lot for the club including running the buffet meets at the hut, and was well-known to many club members.(I well remember the buffet meets at the hut, Editor). The North Wales Meet at the Oread Hut in Rhyd Ddu, over the weekend 8 - 9 June was blessed with great weather. Twenty six members and guests enjoyed a weekend of cycling and hill walking with Ed providing a three course meal on the Saturday evening, many thanks Ed. Report and photos to follow soon.

ABMSAC members Pamela Harris-Andrews and Alan Norton have been updating the walks for the new edition of WALKING in the DORDOGNE, just published by Cicerone Press. The Dordogne river flows through some of the most beautiful countryside in France, its banks lined with picturesque towns and cliff-top castles. George Starkey Hut
The hut is in Patterdale near Ullswater, at the heart of the Lake District’s Eastern Fells. It is ideally placed for the High Street range to the East, whilst from the front there is a splendid view of Helvellyn and its neighbouring fells: to reach them, all you have to do is put on your boots and walk from the hut. There are rock climbing and mountain biking opportunities from the front door, canoeing and sailing on Ullswater and pony trekking locally. Since mid 2016 we have had a new hut partner, the Alpine Club. The hut is run on behalf of both clubs by a limited company, George Starkey Hut Limited. The Chair is Mike Parsons and Marian Parsons is the Hut warden.Online Booking - The hut has a Members Room with eight beds and a further 20 beds that are bookable by clubs and groups.
Current nightly rate for members is just £6 and £11 for guests. Please note that on certain occasions (usually midweek) the Members Room may not be available, for example when a school/youth group have booked the hut exclusively. Check current group booking availability before booking. For any questions about registering or booking - please email the Hut Booking Secretaries on george.starkey.hut@gmail.com. Club information
