Peak District, 20th & 21st September 2008

The campsite looks to be well served with all the normal facilities and costs £5 per person per night. Even though this is designated as a weekend trip, being the peak district, you can of course just come along for the day.

You have a choice of east (M1), west (M6) or straight up through the middle. Take your pick as I have no idea which is the easiest or quickest! Distance from Warwick is 85 miles. See Map.

You have a choice of rock and style. Grit to one side and limestone to the other. One is subtle and demands technique, the other is polished and requires big muscles ....Take your pick.

For grit fans, the campsite is well placed for Windgather and Castle Naze. Limestone devotees can head for Harpur Hill and Staden.

I suppose these days there has to be a disclaimer, so: Warwick Climbing Club recognises that climbing, mountaineering, mountain biking and the like are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement.
