After the success of the summer family meet last year we thought we could try a shorter local UK meet for families as well. We have booked the club hut in Glenridding for the last three days of the summer half term (so arriving Thursday night and staying until Sunday), although as always the option is open to stay for only part of the trip. In addition there is a campsite just up the road if families would prefer to camp instead.
The area offers a great easy to walk to crag for young children and several excellent first wainwright objectives for little legs. There is also Ullswater just up the road which has islands to explore by kayak or boats can easily be hired in Patterdale. Weather permitting we will also have a group BBQ one night.
