Saturday 23 February 2019Alpine Club Lakeland Winter meet at the George Starkey Hut, Patterdale.
This, the last of the three organised meets of the 2018-2019 AC Lakeland winter climbing and mountaineering season, offers the chance to join Stephen Goodwin for a weekend of winter climbing / walking on his home turf. Steve, AC Vice-President (2017 & 2018), is a former Times and Independent journalist, and editor of the prestigious Alpine Journal. As an author of a guidebook to the Lakes on Winter Climbing and Mountaineering, this provides an opportunity to tap into that knowledge.
There’s always a good chance that it might coincide with decent conditions on Helvellyn’s Red Tarn Face too!
10 places available and the option of shared travel on the 22nd/24th.
