Buttermere - Birkness Hut meet
A weekend of walking, scrambling or climbing based in Buttermere at the Birkness – FRCC hut.
"Buttermere is a valley somewhat hidden from the mainstream buzz of the Lakes with a few gems of crags. There are some easily reached crags (Yew Crags, Buckstone Howe), higher crags in fine positions (High Crag) and the high mountain crags in Birkness Combe (Eagle Crag and Grey Crag). For those days when only the coast has fair weather, St Bees Head is within easy reach.
Both Borrowdale and Newlands are a very short drive away and the Gable and Pillar crags are accessible with a longish hike."
Also swimming in Buttermere just down from the hut, or more Wainwrights than you can shake a stick at for those more inclined to walk/run.
We have provisionally reserved beds - £14 per night (as a Kindred Club Member). Please confirm attendance at least 2 weeks in advance.
