I'm looking to move to the Lakes in the next few months, and after a rather large gap, I'm also looking to get back into climbing again.

Therefore I'd be interested in any info regarding clubs or informal groups that I could hopefully hook up with on a regular basis for both rock and fell walking.

Know the lakes well and have climbed there extensively in the past, though my grades these days are likely to be considerably easier than they were

Thanks Stephen. It will probably be around the Keswick area.

And I need a load of new gear too

I would recommend Carlisle mountaineering club. Active members, regular well attended meets and owners of the best hut in the lakes if not the world.

Thanks.

As I'm looking to not just get out regularly again, but also participate in the social side of things too, Carlisle might be too far?

Members all over the county, evenings at Keswick and Penrith walls over the winter, on the crags in the summer

There's also the (smaller and probably less active) West Cumbria Mountaineering club based in Whitehaven/Egremont. Evening sessions at West lakes academy climbing wall over the winter and a reasonable programme of away meets.
