Please note that the difficulty level has changed. However, even with the more technical areas, there will be a C grade work around.
This is a Mystery Leader trip. In an effort to get more trips on the calendar, we will suggest a location and date. Willing participants can register a couple of months out, in the hope that someone will put their hand up to lead or co-lead the group. This is a perfect opportunity if you've been pondering becoming a trip leader, as previous leaders can help you out with track suggestions and camping locations.
Please get in touch and let me know ASAP if you would like to lead.
A GPX file can be provided if you would like to follow a previous club trip route.
