Event Description

Helm Crag, Calf Crag, High Raise (762m) returning down Easedale with possible extension to take in Pavey Ark. Crampons and ice axe are likely to be required unless the weather remains exceptionally mild.

Car park is pay and display. There is limited road side parking in the village but car park offers a meeting point. The plan is to meet at 9.00 am to be walking by 9.30.

The route is not massively physically strenuous so it will suit people who are not "hard core" - but we are likely to meet winter conditions so need to be well equipped. Give me a call if you are unsure.

Give us a clue if you are coming so we can avoid unnecessary waiting around.

Could be a fantastic day.

Comment by Mike Chambers on January 9, 2014 at 19:36: At our meeting yesterday we decided to meet on the roundabout underneath junction 3 of the M65 motorway (accessible by both M61 and M65 travellers) so we can organise ourselves into the minimum number of cars. Weather forecast suggests we might get away with less than full winter gear - I'll probably carry crampons but I doubt they will be essential - need to be warm and dry - spare gloves etc. see you Sunday.
