Langdale, Easter Meet

The Easter meet this year was a trip to the Langdales, my first away trip with the East Grinstead club.

Dave and I went up with Nick and Sue, and had set up camp in the national trust campsite.

Today we woke up to a day that was warm and bright .. just a day to make a visit to Gimmer crag .. I had not been there for several years, and Kipling Groove was unfinished business ..  Unfrtunately there was a queue, so Dave and I went back to the East side and climbed.. ashtree slabs, C route, B route,

As the sun disappeared around the mountain we headed back to the Dungeon Ghyll and the crag behind it - Raven Crag where we climbed centipede, middlefell buttress in the evening sunlight.

After an evening in the bar we retired to the tents in time to meet Bryon and Alan who had driven up on their way to Scotland.
