March | March | March | March | March | 1 - High Moss Meet
All day 01/04/2023-02/04/2023 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).

All day 07/04/2023-10/04/2023 7 – 10 April
Inverlael Easter Meet Ellie Howarth Earlier this month, all places were filled for the four nights over Easter at Forest
Way bunkhouse (https:\\forestway.co.uk\), at Inverlael south of Ullapool, but a late
cancellation has been received. So if you’d like to go to this great area of Scotland,
there is a chance that you’ll be lucky – contact Ellie to find out. There are lots of Munros, Corbetts and Marilyns within reach if that is your thing,
or else road biking or mountain biking.
For a short expedition close to the bunkhouse, why not try the Marilyn Meall Glac
Tigh-fail? A coffin road eases the lower part of the ascent, then on reaching the summit
there is a stunning panorama – the Coigach hills, the Beinn Dearg group, the Fannichs and
the Fisherfield hills. But the star attraction is the view of An Teallach – Ed. - Easter in Scotland: Forest Way bunkhouse, Inverlael.
16:00 -09:00 07/04/2023-11/04/2023 Inverlael Easter Meet Ellie Howarth Last few places available for four nights at Forest Way bunkhouse at Inverlael,

four nights. Please consult their website for further info and photos Welcome to

| 13 | 14 | 15 - Cheshire Sandstone Climbing
All day 15/04/2023 Cheshire Sandstone Climbing Dave Atkinson The core activities for the day will be rock climbing on the sandstone crags and a
circular walk of about eight miles over the Frodsham and Helsby Hills. As we climbed
at Frodsham in July 2022, we will aim for Helsby this time and meet up at 12 noon to
give the sun time to get round to the rock, which could be a help this early in the
season. Helsby is just stuffed with classics – Eliminate One, Flake Crack, Wood’s
Climb, Grooved Slab, Golden Pillar, Pigeonhole Wall – do that lot on a single visit and
you’ll have earned a pint. The rendezvous point will be the Helsby Quarry car park,
which has no charge: Alvanley Road, Helsby WA6 9PU. The climbers may opt to drive
off a short distance to a spot more convenient for the crags and if need be, a
different climbing venue, but we can sort that out on the day. Afterwards, from 5.00
pm, we will gather at a nearby pub, the White Lion at Alvanley, WA6 9DD.
Please let me know if you think you’ll be coming along (see the Handbook for
contact details).
