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.

Due to climbing restrictions around Malham, there's been a change of venue.

For those who don't know the hut, it is in a superb location close to the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel - GR 286062. We've booked 16 places for Friday and Saturday nights - so first come first served. If you want further information please see the BBRCC Raven Crag Cottage Web Page: http://www.bbrcc.co.uk/ Please note what it says about parking.

Normal booking conditions for hut meets please, which are that you don't get a confirmed place until I see the colour of your money (or cheque). Cost is £8 per person per night. If those interested can get in touch, I can help to try and co-ordinate transport if needed.
