Stanage!

It's not long now until the best trip of the year, the infamous Stanage!

Stanage is the first weekend trip of the year and we will be jetting off to the sunny and stunningly beautiful Peak District for a weekend of food, drink and climbing!

Esteemed Social sec, where are we staying? What should I expect??
We are staying at the St Michaels Environmental Centre in Hathersage, by far the classiest venue the stoats frequent all year. Expect hot showers, warm beds, working toilets and Dinner on Saturday night cooked by members of your committee!
This is the only trip of the year where we provide you a hot meal (Ming) and drink (Meanie) for the evening and of course there will be the annual Sock Wrestling competition as well as bench wrestling and chair wrestling!

When is this glorious trip happening?
10-12 October. We will be meeting at the Munrow Sports Centre at 6pm on Friday.

This is all great but how much dollah??
£40 for non drivers and £30 for drivers.

How do I, a simple fresher/established stoat get in on this?
The sign up will be happening at the Wednesday Redpoint Session next week (8th October). You will need to bring £40 with you to secure your place on the trip. If you can't make it to the Wednesday session but you want to come to the trip of the year then message us at [email protected]


What do I need to bring on this trip??

Clothing List (Function before Fashion)
Pack warm clothing. The Centre might be warm but the weather could be chilly so bring:
Fleeces
Thermals
Raincoat
Hat, gloves and scarf
Walking boots/robust shoes you can wear to the crag
PJ's
Toiletries

Le climbing shizzle
Helmet and harness. If you don't have your own you can borrow these from us for the weekend
Climbing shoes if you have them. If not then ask around before the trip for anyone who has spare shoes and is willing to lend them to you. There is also a great climbing shop upstairs at Redpoint who will sell you a quality pair of climbing shoes at a very good price.
If you are lucky enough to have a spare pair of shoes then please bring them!

Additional Stuff
Sleeping bag
Roll mat (if you have one)
Food for the weekend. Don't worry about Saturday, we have you covered! But you will need food for friday night, saturday morning/afternoon etc. We will be stopping off at a generic supermarket to pick up food en route so don't worry if you run out of time before Friday!

The cooking facilities at the Centre are pretty good so you will be able to cook your own food there. Just remember that everyone else there will be wanting to do the same!
Monies for extra food/drink. If the weather goes against us then we might end up in a pub and a bit of extra dollah then would be very handy.

We will both see you at the Munrow at 6pm!
All the social love,
Ellie & Jonny xxxx
