Re: Sport Climbing in Kalymnos Oct 2024

A climbing buddy from Stockport will be joining me from 11th-19th October - we'll both be staying at the Nefeli Hotel in Myrties. I'm staying on until 22nd October, so will be looking for others to climb with for the last 3 days. Sounds like some people I know in the Pinnacle Club will also be out t...

Re: Duddon valley (High Moss) - 22nd/ 23rd March 2024

I stayed there last summer. It's got a big kitchen with catering style equipment. Pretty sure it's got a couple of large ovens, but if you want to be certain, why don't you ask the hut warden?

Re: Duddon valley (High Moss) - 22nd/ 23rd March 2024

A Greek/Turkish idea - I could make some babaganoush - though it's very time consuming and costly on gas (as it takes ages to roast aubergines sufficiently). JR. Tip: If you roast the aubergines direct on a gas hob rather than in the oven it takes about 15 mins. Then about 5 mins to remove the char...

I should be arriving at the hut around 4ish. I'm going for a low-level run heading NE from Coniston village first.

I've found some video of the approach to the hut.

I've been advised that the track is driveable in an old-style BMW saloon, so should be OK for almost any vehicle.

Sounds like it may have been resurfaced in recent years.

Access arrangements etc. Please post up if there are any queries Thanks It would be useful to know where we are advised to park, as from the YMC website (and what ...

Re: Coniston Copper Mines Hut - 23rd - 25th Feb

Really looking forward to the tapas feast! I will bring Habas con Jamon (broad beans with Serrano ham and mint). For vegetarians, I could also make some Habas sin Jamon. It also works well with smoked salmon instead of ham (although I know that's not vegetarian). So that I can work out how much to m...

Isn't it part of the LMC experience to make a sporting attempt at a rough mountain track in a rusty old banger/ your shiny new steed? :lol:

Re: Coniston Copper Mines Hut - 23rd - 25th Feb

And it will be worth keeping an eye on the weather and ground conditions in the run-up to the meet. That track up to the Coppermines won't be a go-er if its icy or snowy. The alternative is parking somewhere in Coniston and backpacking up. It's not far. Thanks Cath,I will keep an eye on the weather...

Re: Coniston Copper Mines Hut - 23rd - 25th Feb

How many folk are ‘in’ for the communal meal? How many are we catering for and special diets? I'm 'in' for the communal tapas. I'll bring a dish or two, but it won't be enough to feed 19 people! Looks like we'll need a few more contributions. And I'm happy to eat anything. As long as it's Spanish :...
