The hut stove proved to be the star turn on this meet.\u00a0 Happily, the host club (Cleveland MC) had been up for a maintenance meet and left the stove on so we arrived to a warm hut. So warm, in fact, that shorts and T shirts were sought as a tropical atmosphere prevailed.<\/p>\n

The weather proved better than forecast but still involved two days of thick mist and a light but penetrating rain, ruling out the pleasures of the high fells. A variety of lower level walks were accomplished including the traditional return by headtorch for one group. Sadly, crampons and ice axes were left at the hut on both days.<\/p>\n

P.S. Two members who stayed on in the Lakes had a day of glorious sunshine on the Tuesday so it doesn’t<\/em> always rain – see final pic.<\/p>\n
