Great Langdale Meet - Raven Crag Cottage

1, 2, 3 ... 16 erm 17, 18, 19. Things did not get off to a good start when the meet leader realised that the apparently simple task of counting to 16 was beyond his limited wit. It was on the morning of Friday 19th June that the truth dawned on him that although there was only room for 16 at the hut, he had "taken bookings" from 19! A quick phone call to James and Pete was made re tents and disaster was averted.

Notwithstanding that inauspicious start, the meet appeared to be a success with a good turnout in an excellent venue approximately 200 metres from the Old Dungeon Ghyll hostelry.

The weather on Saturday was not as good as it could be and all present decided on a scrambling/walking day. Al Lester and Trish scrambled up Dungeon Ghyll and up to Harrison Stickle. Andy, Peter and Roger scrambled up Crinkle Ghyll, up to Crinkle Crags and along to Bowfell. Roger went on to Pike of Stickle and Andy to Harrison Stickle as well. Meanwhile James, Kasia, Matthew and Perri walked to Scafell Pike and returned via Bowfell and Esk Pike while Joe Flynn walked up the Band to Bowfell along to Angle Tarn and down Rossett Ghyll.

On Sunday various routes were climbed on Raven Crag including Evening Wall (V Diff) and Ordinary Route (V Diff) and Bracket, Slab (S) on Gimmer Crag and Route 1 (V Diff) and Cubs Crack (S+) on Scout Crag.
