Craig and myself were planning a trip to the Dolomites in august this year, for between two and one weeks and were trying to get a feel for any interest out there? For those that don't know the via ferrata were originally placed in the Dolomites for the Austrian/Italian troops to cross the mountains and have since been maintained as climbing/scrambling routes across most of the Dolomites, they vary from easy protected walkways to out and out rock climbs. We went last year and had a fantastic time, all you do is clip the wire and you are off!. There is a great 48-page article in AT (adventure travel) magazine this month (January) that's worth a look if you want to see more. Any one that's interested please call Craig or myself and we'll keep you posted! Cheers Mark. Tel 07973 896005.

Due to new Fire Regulations the JMCofS, who own Jock Spot's (the Hut for this year's March Meet), have had to limit the number of bed spaces available. They also reserve 2 places for their own club members during weekends. This means that we only have 8 places for Friday and Saturday night, and 10 during the week. Camping is not allowed near the hut. I am currently attempting to book several places at a bunkhouse 2 miles down the road in Newtonmore so EVERYONE has sleeping accommodation. What I need to know is how many people are coming and for how long. Please could you confirm this by Saturday 12th Jan (with your £10 deposit). After that date you will have to make your own arrangements!

Here are the plans for the Meet this Saturday (12^th January):- Departing Yeadon at 7:30am Calling at layby on A65 just East of M6/A65 junction at 9am Meeting at the Glenridding car park (386169) at 9:30am Options for the day include Striding Edge/Swirral Edge, Catstycam via Central Gully, ice climbing on Helvellyn/Nethermost Pike (eg Jogebar Gully), Pinnacle Ridge on St Sunday Crag.........
