Weekend meet in North Wales - At the Oread Hut at Rhyd-Ddu.
Norman Bell, Jenny Scott

A unusually small turn out for this annual meet at the Oread hut. Norman and Jenny enjoyed some mixed weather, and Norman reports -
Saturday was wet all day, and to avoid the rain we went to Aberdaron at the western end of the Lleyn peninsula, where we walked round the tip of the peninsula ( about 7 miles ) which was a great coast path, with lots of choughs and fine views of Bardsey Island. Thus we did avoid almost all the rain. Sunday was a fabulous sunny day, and we walked up to the quarries Bwlch cwm Llan and then up Y Aran where we had wonderful views all around, including Snowdon and Y Llewidd. We then returned via the SW side of Y Aran before setting off back home.

Midweek Walk The Howgills: Gaisgill and back
Mike Walford - Leader, Adelle Walford, Maja While, Jan Lancaster, Ruth Joyce, Tony Maguire, Sue Mitchell, Hugh Taylor, Norman Bell, Les Ord, plus three dogs - Sally, Nell, and Bob.

On a beautiful day, ten members met at Carlingill Bridge and proceeded up the zigzags on Uldale Head, across Archer Moss (not too boggy) and to Archer Tarn. Then a change of plan, so instead of walking down to Gaisgill the group headed up to the top of Uldale Head. Then down to Blakethwaite Bottom which acts as the watershed between Uldale Back and Carlin Gill, and also as 'Check Point 3' on Mike's Sedbergh Fell Race. Climbing steadily upwards along the lovely path above Black Force, lunch was taken before continuing to the col between Fell Head and Knowles. Then down the green track above Fairmile Beck for a cuppa at Fairmile Bridge. A steady mile or so's walk along the line of the old Roman Road that is Fairmile Road completed a grand day out on the delightful Howgills. Thanks Mike and Adelle.
