Bamford Outdoor Meet

Gritstone trad climbing at Bamford Edge in the Peak District, an extensive crag in a beautiful setting.

Beginners are welcome, but you MUST BE ABLE TO LEAD BELAY!!!!!! THIS IS SAFETY-CRITICAL! If you can't, or don't know what this is, come to a Friday indoor session first.

It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to ensure you HAVE THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT. A harness and belay plate are mandatory. Helmet is highly recommended. Rock shoes are advisable. The club has all the necessary climbing gear you may want to borrow including harnesses, climbing shoes, helmets and trad racks. Contact gear@cumc.org.uk if you need anything.

The trip will be on either the Saturday or the Sunday depending on the availability of drivers and the weather.

We will leave at 0700 sharp from Queens' Backs, and return around 1900. DON'T BE LATE! :)

Drivers using their own car will be paid 20p per mile for fuel/wear and tear. If you are able to hire a car, the club will cover the cost of hiring/fuel. Everyone going will pay the club £12. Drivers will be reimbursed within a week-ish.

Signup will open when the weekly bulletin is sent round on Monday May 7th, TWO WEEKS before the meet and will be first some first served as usual.

Feel free to contact Omar or Timo with any questions at outdoot-meets@cumc.org.uk.
