Wild Country Crag Clean Up

On Saturday 23rd June Outside and Wild Country staff will be helping to clean up local Peak District crags, but we need your help. We know how hard it is to fit in some good civic duty around a day of climbing (and possibly an England quarter-final!) so we've got some incentives.

After the shop closes we will be having a barbeque with free beer and burgers (veggie options available) from 6pm in our Hathersage car park. We will also be having a prize draw for a set (1+2+3) of Wild Country's new Helium Friends (MSRP £149).

All you have to do is drop by the shop (Calver or Hathersage), pick up a Wild Country bin bag¹, fill your bag with litter from a crag of your choice and bring the full bag back to the shop! A team will be heading to Black Rocks, which is not looking great at the moment, but most popular gritstone crags could do with a (late) spring clean.

We are also pleased to say that Derbyshire Dales District Council is supporting the event by offering to safely dispose of all the litter that we manage to collect. Let's make sure we make it worth their while!

Please contact us if you plan to take part so we can be prepared with the right amount of food and drink. We wouldn't want you to go hungry or thirsty after doing a good deed. Please don't bring any gardening equipment, pointed implements or sharp things, this is strictly a litter removal exercise.


¹If you are worried about a visit to Outside meaning one less route, but still want to help, then we can post you a Wild Country bin bag. Contact us to arrange this.

FYI from the good people at Outside:




On Saturday 23rd June some of the Outside and Wild Country staff will be out collecting rubbish from various crags in and around the Peak District, starting with Black Rocks, however, we need help!

We are asking the general Public if they would like to help out, in return they get the chance to come to a free BBQ with some beers at 6pm behind the shop (Outside, Hathersage) and also enter the chance to win a set of Wild Country Helium Friends (Sizes 1, 2 & 3).

We will be issuing bin bags and gloves in the morning from the shop if people would like to collect one before they go out, alternatively they can simply arrive with litter later. We have a collection arranged with the Derbyshire Dales District Council to safely dispose of the rubbish at the end of the weekend.

If people are keen we would be very grateful if they could let us know if they intend to come to the BBQ, so we can gauge how many burgers and beers to buy! They can call the shop (01433 651936) or email hathersage@outside.co.uk.
