Should any meets change then the attendees will be contacted by the meet organiser and information will also be placed on the club website.

Local support in the Lake District
We are a member of the Friends of the Lake District.
We support the Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team.
Patterdale Primary School - We donated money to the school to help fund their 'Forest School and Garden Club'. We are delighted that the school won awards in the Cumbria in Bloom Schools Competition. The Hut (what3words: ///martini.louder.bolsters) 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.
Please follow the instructions on the use of the hut and be aware of other people using the hut. Advance booking is absolutely essential for members. To book go to the hut website and click on Member Bookings.
Members have exclusive use of the hut at the August and Twixmas Bank Holidays. Website contributions contact the Editor. |
