This is the fourth meet to Northumberland in recent years and once again sees the meet based around the most northerly crags covered in the Northumberland Mountaineering Club guide. The plan is to visit crags such as Bowden Doors, Back Bowden, Berryhill, and Kyloe.
Like last year, the aim will be to get out for some climbing on the Friday afternoon at one of the crags and for the meet to finish late afternoon on the Sunday. Members are of course welcome to simply join the meet for a day, or part of the weekend.
Although the crags are not at all alpine in scale, the rock climbing is delightful and the meet provides an opportunity to meet and climb with other members from all over the UK.
If you would like to come, either for the day or for the weekend, please get in touch and I will send you further details.
