Sheperds Crag, Borrowdale

The weather is looking uncertain on Tuesday evening, so the meet may move back to Thursday evening (also weather dependent).

However, if Tuesday’s forecast improves and looks dry, the place to meet up will be at the Brown Slabs area of Shepherd’s.
There is parking at Kettlewell car park, or south of the crag. It’s a good idea to car share from Keswick or further afield so do use the WhatsApp group to team up.

I may not be able to get there until later on, so there may be a last minute swap of meet leader on Tuesday, and most likely Mark Ward will take over if the meet is moved to Thursday.

For newer members of the club and those not familiar with Shepherd’s Crag, Brown Slabs is the northern end of the crag, and it’s a good idea to get there and ask around for other KMC members. Bring a rope if you have one, even if you don’t plan to lead. There are routes from single pitch Diffs to multipitches and E grades so something for everyone.

If you are in the WhatsApp group, keep an eye there for weather updates and a decision on whether the meet goes ahead on Tuesday.

Further update: The weather forecast for tomorrow has worsened slightly whilst the forecast for Thursday has improved so This meet has been postponed until Thursday 12 September. I will continue to monitor the weather but it would help if you were to let me know if you intend to be there, if so please let me no by email markward1962@gmail.com or txt/WhatsApp to 07500155064

Cheers

A fitting end to the season, the weather finally relented and indeed we were treated to a warm and dry evening.
