1-3 November: luxury bunkhouse in the Beacons
2019-11-01 - 2019-11-03 | Wales
Brian has found an impressive-looking bunkhouse in the Brecon Beacons, right under Pen y Fan and very convenient for other hills in the area. More details are on the website at the link above. The nearest pub / restaurant is the Nantddu lodge opposite and serves lovely meals apparently. Book early to avoid disappointment.

6-8 December: Litton Cheney, Dorset
2019-12-06 - 2019-12-08 | Dorset
The club has booked the 22 bed youth hostel at Litton Cheney, between Weymouth and Lyme Regis in Dorset, for our pre-Christmas meet/bash on 6-8 December 2019. Good location for cycling as well as excellent SW coastal walking.

January 24-26 2020, Lakes: Stair
2020-01-24 - 2020-01-26 | Lakes
The first weekend outing of 2020 is to Stair in the Newlands Valley. This location is an established favourite, with lots of walks possible straight from the door including Catbells and Grasmoor, and Buttermere only a short drive away.

As with the last two January weekends, this will be a joint meet with the STMC.

6-8 March: Peak district – Stoney Middleton
2020-03-06 - 2020-03-08 | Peak district
We have booked Carlswark Cottage in the village of Stoney Middleton, near Baslow in the Peak district. I don’t think we have stayed there before but the webmaster was in the area last May and can confirm that there are some great walks nearby. This is to fill the gap in the calendar as we didn’t decide on a club trip to foreign parts.

July 16 onwards: Swanage camping weekend
2021-07-16 - 2021-07-18 | Dorset
Before the resumption (hopefully) of hut weekends in the autumn, a chance for a camping-based getaway! A few club members are heading to a campsite near Swanage for a few days later in July. Some are planning to stay for 3 or 4 days from Friday, subject to availability of pitches.

September 16-20: Lakes – Rydal Hall bunkhouse
2021-09-17 - 2021-09-19 | Lakes
We originally booked the Robertson Lamb hut in Langdale, but it will not be available this year. However, club member Shira has unearthed this little gem as an alternative: Rydal Hall Bunkhouse. We have booked one room for Thursday night and two for Friday-Monday. As at 12 August we have exclusive use of the bunkhouse but this may change.
We hope to revisit Langdale next year.

18-22 October: Cornwall MIDWEEK MEET
2021-10-18 - 2021-10-22 | Cornwall
As we needed to find an alternative venue for October, we have booked the NT’s Penrose Bunkhouse for four nights from Monday 18 October. This is a departure from our normal modus operandi but it gives us extra nights at a reasonable price close to, but not in half term holidays and before the clocks change.
It’s located right on the South West Coast Path at Chyvarloe in Cornwall. Simple, but with all the basic facilities you’d expect from a holiday property, the bunkhouse is heated by a wood burning stove in the living room. But with spectacular sea views, you probably won’t be spending much time indoors.
Enjoy a bracing cliff-top stomp along the coast path, or, for something a little quicker, jump on your bike and head out along one of the marked trails on the Penrose estate and around nearby Porthleven.
With so much on your doorstep, including a beautiful beach at Gunwalloe, you needn’t stray too far. But magnificent West Cornwall has a lot to offer, not least the spectacular Lizard peninsula, mainland Britain’s most southerly point.

26-28 November: Shropshire; Christmas is not cancelled!
2021-11-26 - 2021-11-28 | Shropshire
Our December booking has been rearranged for the National Trust Dudmaston Bunkhouse, situated in a quiet, remote hamlet in the heart of the Shropshire countryside, Dudmaston bunkhouse is a barn conversion to comfortable accommodation that sleeps 16 people. The bunkhouse offers all the basic facilities you’ll need for your stay including some added extras.
The bunkhouse comes equipped with a multi-functional dining / meeting room with Wi-Fi and projector, so it’s perfect for meetings and arranging activities whether that is for work or play. All the communal rooms are on the ground floor and with a wet room and accessible bedroom, everyone should feel included. The bunkhouse has nine bedrooms, so although basic facilities, guests only share a maximum of two to a room.
Although it’s November, we reckon Christmas pudding is allowed!

Jan 21-23 2022: Lakes – Coniston POSTPONED
2022-01-21 - 2022-01-23 | Lakes
Apologies that because this weekend is not looking viable in the light of the current Covid situation, it has been postponed to 18-20 November. It will still be a joint meet with fellow hill-walkers from the STMC.

25-27 February 2022: Peak district – Stoney Middleton
2022-02-25 - 2022-02-27 | Peak district
The visit here in March 2020 went so well that we have booked it again.
The venue is Carlswark Cottage in the village of Stoney Middleton, near Baslow in the Peak district. Handily placed for great walks along the Froggatt, Curbar and other edges and within striking distance of most of the Dark Peak. And a good pub just across the road. Full details are on the Derbyshire Pennine club website: – http://www.thedpc.co.uk/hut but note that, based on experience, the practical capacity of the hut is 10 people.

2022-04-22 - 2022-04-24 | Exmoor

Camping in Dorset - 18-21 August
2022-08-18 - 2022-08-22
We have booked some spaces at Acton Field campsite, near Swanage on Thursday 18 – Monday 22 August. The club had a great weekend there last year.

Shops and hostelries in Crickhowell are also nearby.

13-15 January 2023: Peak District - Fallcliffe
2023-01-13 - 2023-01-15 | Peak district
For January we have booked a cosy hut in the Peak District. It is a small club hut, Fallcliffe, www.ulgmc.org.uk/huts/fallcliffe which I gather is a nostalgic venue for some in the club. It’s a great location near Grindleford, 1.5 miles south of Hathersage. Froggat, Stanage, Curbar, and Stoney Middleton are all within easy reach.
