As you know from the program, we are running an outdoor activities weekend in the Peak District during the weekend of November 4th – 6th.
This is a trip for all members, regardless of age or size, and is the last one to be subsidised by a grant. All you have to do to get on the trip is be one of the first people to say YES. There are LIMITED spaces on this trip, so don’t delay if you want to do it – we CAN’T take everyone.
The activities will include:
- Weasling – it’s all about going under, around and over rocks to get from one side of a rocky outcrop to the other –it’s physical and very mental as it can be quite tight getting through some of the gaps – it’s brilliant.
- Caving – a trip down the fantastic routes in the area led by a supremely experience and qualified caver. You’ll get wet and squeeze through small gaps in the dark – but only If you want to.
- Peak Cavern Fireworks – we will visit the “Devil’s Arse” cavern on the Saturday evening where the organisers will set up a fireworks show with lights, music, a hog roast and for those that are old enough, a bar.
- Mountain Hike – we will finish the trip with a hike around or up a local peak depending on the abilities of the group / members, weather conditions and time requirements. If we go up Kinder Scout we might even find some remains of some WW2 crashed aircraft that came down on there quite often.
We will be leaving Bickenhill at 5.30pm on the 4th, returning as early at around 5.30pm evening of the 6th. Our accommodation is indoors in the Edale area in a bunkhouse.
This is an absolutely FANTASTIC trip at an unbelievable cost thanks to our funding from the Big Lottery Fund. Don’t miss out, the funding will be gone soon!!
