Hut Meets Have Resumed - Patterdale

12 members enjoyed the delights of Patterdale and the surrounding hills staying at the lovely George Starkey Hut. A few of us climbed at Trowbarrow Quarry en route to the Lakes on the Friday with stunning blue skies and warm rock.

The weather deteriorated slowly after that but we still climbed some more (Castle Rock) and enjoyed walks around Patterdale seeking out Red Squirrels whilst being haunted by the booming sound of the rutting stags.

The walks included Place Fell & Beda Fell and separately Arniston Crag. Those who stayed on longer were rewarded with brilliant views from Helvellyn for their efforts.

Big thanks to Gill Francis for organising the meet.
