Meets Calendar

The Rucksack Club is privileged to have one of the biggest and most varied programme of meets of any British mountaineering club. Our outdoor meets programme has over 50 meets (weekends or longer) throughout the year. We have a regular programme of Wednesday evening climbing – outdoor during the summer months and indoor during winter – and there is a very active Wednesday Walkers group. In the winter months we have a regular mid-week indoor lecture programme from both members and invited national and international speakers.

    High Moss Meet

    All day
    31/03/2023-02/04/2023

    High Moss Meet         Dave Atkinson 

    As a former Anabasis member, this will be my first visit to High Moss but I have
    many happy memories of the location from several Anabasis meets based at Turner
    Hall Farm. But we’re all Rucksackers now, eh? There’s little need for me to list the
    attractions but I will establish my credentials by mentioning a few of them – walking
    over the Coniston Fells, onto Harter Fell, and up charming little Caw, rock climbing at
    nearby Wallowbarrow, with a hike over the hill to Dow Crag or – with a drive up the
    Duddon Valley to Cockley Beck – Esk Buttress. And of course there’s the Newfield Inn,
    and more, much more, but these are what I came to consider the Duddon delights. My
    daughter Katie’s partner Adam tells me that the Duddon is a top kayaking river.
    There might be something semi-organised for the food on Saturday night but I’ll
    await suggestions about that before saying more.
    Please let me know if you would like to book a place, eight of twenty-four beds
    already gone (Murphies, Bartons, me plus three) so don’t delay (see the Handbook for
    contact details).
