Alpine Club New members' meet at the George Starkey Hut, Patterdale.
The AC New members' meet offers the chance to join members new and old at the Alpine Club’s George Starkey Hut in Patterdale. We will be joined by Ron Kenyon for a weekend of winter climbing / walking / running on his home turf.
Ron is a recipient of the BMC's prestigious 2020 George Band Award in recognition of the lengthy and wide-ranging voluntary work he has carried out over his lifetime. AC, CC and SMC member, Ron is past president of the Fell & Rock Climbing Club of the English Lake District, as well as being the clubs’s Guidebook Secretary. This provides an excellent opportunity to tap into his knowledge and enthusiasm.
There’s always a good chance that it might coincide with decent winter conditions on Helvellyn’s Red Tarn Face too!
