An off hand comment elsewhere I made has turned slightly viral and there is much interest for a centrally based meet in summer. I propose a meet in the Peak, camping at North Lees. Early days I know but folks have to get dates in their diary.
Peak based means everyone is catered for with grit routes of all grades within easy access, bouldering too with Burbage and Plantation mere minutes away. Sport is down the road at Horseshit <sorry - shoe> and limestone trad down the river at Stoney, High Tor, Wildcat etc. Great walking to be found in any direction and pubs and shops down the road at Hathersage.
Although Mrs W doesn't climb I expect she'll want to come too just to banter the climbers so bring partners/wifes/husbands/slaves if too they want to get away for the weekend and meet new people and have a laugh.
I propose Friday 28th June to Monday 1st July. I realise many folks would only be able to do the Sat & Sun but thats no problem. All 4 days or just 1 day, you decide, I'll be there for all 4.
If I can get some numbers over the next week or so I'll contact North Lees and prime them up. They may need us 'picnicers' to book their pitch directly but I'm sure this won't be a problem for anyone.
Don't worry about grades, I'm sure we can pair up like for like on the day at the crag and if this turns out to be highly populated 15+ say we should consider splitting up rather than all crowding the same areas. Those tw*ts at UKC hate that sort of thing and they'll be slagging us off for weeks...

North Lees tends to be prety rammed in summer... why not a quieter venue with less effect on normal visitors??

Hi Dave, keep an eye on this thread in a week or so where I'll be asking for deffo yes/no and approx numbers, solo or with partners etc. The campsite is under discussion but until we are a group and know what kind of numbers we are, there isn't much to debate just yet. I've created a facebook 'event' but can't post a link here just yet, I'm at work and FB is blocked. There are at least a dozen up for this so far and with good weather it'll be a great weekend of climbing and having a laugh >

In reply to dasc: Yes mate, not a problem and my intention anyway. It'll be updated as and when there is any news and everyone who has expressed an interest with get an email bringing any updates to your attention. Looking forward to it already! :-D
Everyone, please feel free to use this thread for a campsite discussion.
Our choices are:
1- North Lees - Handy for Stanage, bit of a hike to Hathersage if going to the pub.
2- Coopers @ Edale - handy for the pub, 15 min drive at least from Stanage but perfect for Kinder grit? Campsite can get rowdy.
3- Eric Bynes - handy for Birchen <walking distance> and the Robin hood pub but a bit out of the way from shops etc. Site is basic.
4- The one Blue Straggler has suggested, I've never been so can't comment.
5- Any other one you know of.

In reply to blanchie14c: Well as I said on t'other thread I can't climb at the moment, but it's local to me and it would be nice to pop along and meet some new people.

In reply to John Lewis:
Yea thats cool John, the more the merrier!
People, we have another campsite option to consider. The big one at Birchover. Ok, not as close to the crags as other mentioned but it'd swallow 20 or 30 of us without any problem at all. Within walking distance is a shop and 2 pubs. Red lion and the druid inn. Cratcliffe is 5 mins away, eastern grit and matlock limestone both 30 mins away, dovedale is perhaps 45 mins plus walking time. Matlock and Bakewell both 15 mins away. There is also a camping barn/hut there if you can't be arsed to bring a tent! This site does get busy although room shouldn't be a problem.

Birchover is evil though, the bacon butty van has its pitch between the tents and the bogs so you can't go for morning ablutions without being challenged to resist the waft of lovely pig shavings frying in the summer breeze.....mmmm is it lunchtime yet?

In reply to blanchie14c:
Like some of the other 'locals' I'll most likely pop along to say hello, may even attempt to climb something but won't be camping. It'll be nice to meet folk.
I'm guessing this has been dismissed now anyway, but a quick heads up in case - the Robin Hood is a pretty poor pub these days.
Probably a silly suggestion, but there is often (very basic) camping unofficially available to boozers at the Three Stags Heads at Wardlow. It's a *wonderful* little pub to drink in. (Unless you're a lager drinker: http://www.whitebeertravels.co.uk/images/3stags_nokeg.jpg )

In reply to deepsoup:
I'd say the Robin Hood has improved in some respects as the miserable landlord has gone. It was only ever OK for food or beer but a good group venue as it has a hikers bar. The Three Stags is a bonkers choice for ordinary UKC folk... very much an aquired taste.

In reply to Alyson: preggers! Many congrats to you, must have missed an anouncement eh. I'm sure there will be folks off to crags with very easy access so you can tag along and picnic. You aren't likely to pop while on the meet are you? My midwifery skills are a bit rusty!
In reply to Blue Straggler:
Yes, in my experience it is a busy site and likely to be host to drunken dads vs lasses footy matches, dance music and lots of beer swilling. that said, I've never had any problems there but it could be a little loud at night

In reply to blanchie14c:
I only meant "evil" as a tongue in cheek comment re: bacon
Only had good experiences there but I know what you mean. Their overspill field is huge, could ask specifically to be put there. I don;t think late night noise will be that much of an issue, the UKC lot will be up talking crap into the small hours anyway

In reply to blanchie14c: I'll be 7 and a bit months so I think we're pretty safe, but maybe have some hot water and towels on standby
In reply to blanchie14c: I've used a campsite behind the travellers rest on the hope road a few times. It's always been ok with the main downside being the proximity to the railway. The pub is ok and there is a cafe onsite (open weekends only I think). Hathersage is 5 minutes up the road, Bamford is about the closest crag, maybe 10 minutes drive??

In reply to blanchie14c: Ok will wait for the emails and see whats on offer. Fri to Mon is stretching it a bit for me. May just drive...

Well 66% of the vote has gone to Hardhurst Farm in Hope. I'll give them a bell tomorrow and find out costs and booking etc.

Newsletter 3 has just gone out. Please PM me if you'd like adding!
Hello everyone
Hardhurst farm were pretty hard to get hold of so this is a few days late but we are sorted now. I've spoken to the site and they have provisionally booked us space for 10 to 15 tents. In a month or so when everyone knows for definite that they are going, I'll collect final numbers and confirm the booking with the site. I imagine there will still be lee-way so extra nights, number changes etc will be okay. I've also confirmed that dogs are welcome on the site which they are and campervans are welcome too. You'll need to book an electric hook up nearer the time though if you want one. Camping prices are simply £5 per person per night, a little more for a van I'd have thought (sorry I forgot to ask about van prices!)
I've booked good weather with sunshine and a slight westerly breeze and I'm waiting on an email from the environment agency - I've asked them to delay the annual midge release until mid July so fingers crossed....
