Mercian Mountaineering Club

Hello Mercians

Following a second highly unsuccessful attempt at the 'Snowdon for sunrise' meet, you'll be glad to hear we will not be going for a third attempt. Instead we will be heading to the lake district, where the sun shines, the beer is tepid and the sheep are beautiful. The location of these joyous delights is Stonethwaite Farm in Borrowdale.

The campsite has cold and cold running water, a reed bed toilet and rough narrow track. Luxury at this level doesn't come cheap, it cost £5 per night (unless your a child then it cost £3). Having said that, the photos on the web site look very nice (see the link below).

Once again there is plenty of hike bike climb in Borrowdale. You could bag yourself a Wainright, bike to Grassmere for an ice cream, or climb the classic rock Gillercombe buttress.

Would love to go and climb Little Chamonix but I'm on my honeymoon those dates.

We're heading to Borrowdale on Friday morning to bag a few more Chairman's Challenge points.

Hey guys I want to come but Friday evening will be hard for me. Is it OK for me to come up on Saturday morning and meet you there?

Weather depending, we might be on our Scottish leg of the weekend on Saturday. I'll fb msg you my number.

Update: husband ill and if he's not fit i will come up on my own.

Final update. I'm heading to Borrowdale for the meet campsite in the morning. See you there.
