⛺️ May Bank Holiday meet ⛺️ Camping season is well and truly upon us! The British weather may have returned to business as usual but that didn't deter some hardy Mercians.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Cefn Goch meet 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The gang had a whale 😉 of a time in Deiniolen this weekend. A rather blowy Saturday hike, some Tryfan scrambling and some classic en masse slate climbing 💪 If that wasn't enough apparently Andy's Korean tacos were off the scale for Saturday's communal dinner. Another recipe added to the Mercian cookbook.

Next meet is the big one! Easter in Aviemore 18/04 - 21/04. Och aye.

🏠 High House meet 🏠

What a cracker of a hut this is! This meet we had Wainwright bagging, trail running, gravel biking, and of course pubbing, all from the hut door. You can't beat it.

We are already plotting our return, but in the meantime, next meet is Deiniolen 28th-30th March! We'll be counting down the days.

🧗🏼‍♀️Patterdale Meet 🧗🏼‍♀️

Well well well some winter conditions in the Lakes for our lucky Mercians! Some members got stuck into imaginative gully I beneath Helvellyn. Others some classic Lakes hikes and of course everyone got stuck into @ruthwragg's birthday cake 🎂

Can you spot the photo where some mashed potato was accidentally deposited into a pint? Never a dull moment 🍺

🐎 Horsing around Llanberis 🐎

Some beautiful hiking, gnarly biking, tidal running and a 'friendly' neighbourhood horse. What more could we have asked for on this weekend's meet! Merci @fridaye_next for a superb early Burns night supper and a galette de rois 🫅 for dessert. Délicieux!

We are already counting down the days until our next meet in Patterdale 8th February! ⛰️ 🥾

❄️ New Year Meet, the extended version ❄️

❄️ New Year Meet, the extended version ❄️

With the promise of a fantastic forecast some of our members decided to stay on and boy were they rewarded.

Beinn a'Bheithir towers above the village of Ballachulish and after 5 days of gazing at it from the hut conditions finally delivered. Ascending the two munros that make up this mountain via Schoolhouse ridge is a Scottish mountaineering classic. What a way to start the year! The cherry on top of the cake was a spectacular show of the northern lights above the hut on New Year's Day. Scotland at her absolute best 💙🏔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
