A little bird tells me that Big Bob Berzins, our most distinguished club access (or is it environment?) officer, quietly completed his last Munro a week or two back; like the vast majority, I suspect, unaccompanied by any other human. My informant wasn’t quite sure which his final summit was, Read more
A relatively modest fifteen or so Warts assembled at Fairholmes for an unusually early first Wartin’ fixture of the 16/17 season – more typically falling (so the good Cap’n advises) on or after the Autumn Equinox. Perhaps Big Bob had forgotten this departure from tradition, failing as he did to Read more
The jury’s back, and the results are now there for all to see on the Calendar – a succession of choice wartin’ venues, with plenty of opportunities to get wet, lost or worse. Members new and old are encouraged to remind themselves of the contents of the winter runs and Read more
Langdale is an English Champs counter this year. Entries opened yesterday, and it’s already two thirds full, so get a move on if you want to race it this year … enter here.

Visitors to the Sportsman this evening following Dave H’s Burbage Sharpener were more than a little impressed to find Stu Walker sat supping an ale, having just completed an impromptu 26 trigs – 15 in the Dark Peak and 11 in the White. After Peter Simpson only the second person Read more
Many congratulations to Dave Taylor who successfully completed a clockwise Ramsay Round on Tuesday 24 May in 23 hours and 18 minutes. Dave’s quick to note that good weather and dry rock were in his favour … but rather more coy about the fact he soloed two thirds of the Read more
