Sun 27th April - President's Hotpot, Navigation Inn - Joe Flynn
By Joe Flynn
Hotpot
This year the meal will again be held at The Navigation Inn in Buxsworth (near Chinley) priced at £6 per person. The pub is open all day with the meal being served at 7.30pm. As usual there is a vegetarian option available so let me know your preference when you book. Please book early as I need to let the pub know the final numbers a week before hand.
Anyone who needs a lift or wants to book a meal can generally find me at the pub on most Thursday evenings or can contact me at home.
Slideshow
Time is closing in for entries to this years slide/print competition All entries should be handed to Andrew ASAP before 22nd April.
As per usual the four categories are:
- Mountain action
- Mountain landscape
- Rock climbing action
- Human interest.
All catagories this year are open to print or slide entries, so if you have not entered before now is your chance. Print entries will be scanned and digitally projected (if you have negatives this would make life easier and improve quality). Please give details of where the image was taken and catagory of entry along with your name. We want to see more prints from people who take great photographs, but don't use slide film, so get searching and get entering.
Please remember that there is a maximum of three pictures per person for each category and that it would help our impartial judge (yet to be announced to avoid bribery or blackmail).
Climbing: Stanage, The northern End
The usual pre-hotpot climbing this year is to be held at the northern end of Stanage. The northern end of Stanage is reached from A57 Sheffield-Manchester road with the parking at the side of the road at SK 232879 via an obvious path running south.
The northern limit of Stanage is clearly marked by a large slab, which has the routes the Ariel and Green Streak running up it, This is where I'm planning to be at about 10.30am and then, hopefully, a great day of beautiful weather and lots of climbing will follow completed by the President's Hotpot and slide show.
