What?:The fantabulous 2nd trip of the year to the lakes to shag even more cumbrian limestone (and slate if you're so inclined).

When?:Depart at 18:00 on Friday the 7th from the munrow sports centre, to return late on Sunday the 9th.

How?:We'll be taking advantage of the super-comfy MAM hut (Lowhouse) in Coniston.

Cost?:£27 for non-drivers, £17 for drivers. I will be at Redpoint on Wednesday afternoon to collect payment or, if you cannot get to Redpoint on Wednesday, you can drop the money off at 4 Rose Cottages on Hubert Road. Here's a map if you don't know where that is:

http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=405000&Y=282500&width=700&height=400&gride=404673&gridn=282694&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=pc&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&keepicon=true&zm=0&scale=10000&up.x=169&up.y=5

Its down the last dark alley on the left before Exeter Road.

Can all those who haven't paid please bring money with them on Friday evening, or hand it to me before then else you will not be coming on the trip.

What will I need?:

Climbing gear (harness, rock shoes, rack and rope if you have them)
Warm clothes
Sleeping bag
Pillow case
Head torch
Rucksack to put it all in
Food for 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches and 1 dinner (its up to you to arrange with your driver to stop for food if you need to get it)

Sign up? Give me a call on or send a text to 07796850108. Please don't just post an 'I want to come too' on this thread, as I may well miss it. Payment deadline will be next Wednesday (5th March).

I like the way my name has an exclamation mark after it in the list. Makes it look as if everyone is very excited for me to be there!

Thanks

COME ON DRIVERS! Please go on this trip if you possibly can. Low house is an awesome place to stay and there is a lot of excellent climbing near by!

And yes Huw, we are all very excited about your possible going, but we need drivers to make this dream a reality...
