The forecast looks OK for Tuesday so this meet is on. Currently I have some complications re transport (I have to collect a courtesy car) so not sure what time I will get to the crag – I will update when I know what’s happening. Generally people spread out along the crag, so if you are arriving on your own, the best policy is walk along and just ask people if they are with the KMC.
In the meantime, if anyone wants a lift or can offer a lift, please put something on our Facebook page or let me know. There is no longer any parking at Shepherd’s Crag itself. The nearest National Trust car park is at Kettlewell, which tends to be very busy. There are alternative car parks – with longer approach walks – at Great Wood and Quayfoot/Bowderstone and lay-by parking near Falcon Crag. There are also buses from Keswick.
If you need any further info, please e-mail me on judithbrown3@aol.com or via the KMC Facebook page.
Hi everyone. I’d like to come on Tuesday and thinking of setting off for the crag from Workington to arrive around 3pm. It would be great to sort car sharing so if you are interested or need a lift please get in touch. Thanks Ros 07734471241
Hi All, plan on being there, heading from Silloth, probably be there for half 3. Plan on taking bike in car so can park a bit further affield and cycle in. Any body want a lift and and a short cycle in should be able to squeeze one other. Rob 07530156330.

After a night and morning of rain, it was hardly surprising that the crag was wet. A general inspection revealed it to have been visited by a bloke with a grease gun. And where had all that moss come from? I don’t remember Brown Slabs being quite so carpeted with a rich covering of green. The first of us to arrive made a tentative start up Brown Crag Arete. Then Matt and Rob arrived and pondered the damp options for a long time. Slowly but surely other folk turned up, having cunningly waited until the sun peeped shyly out through the murk – and until the early birds had dried off bits of crag with our slitherings.
“Typical.” says I, “The sun comes out just before it goes dark.” “Yes,” agreed Mark, “It has to come out so it can set.” Amid the trees, dusk seemed to thicken rather quickly, and I mooted retreat to the pub, which duly ensued with the usually fine beverages at the Dog and Gun.Various routes were done on Brown Slabs and Brendan and Jamie did something which may have been a combination of Turning the North (v.diff) and Gemma (HVS)!
The team was Ros DF, Mike K, Mark W, Aileen, Jamie, Brendan, Geraint, Matt, Rob and Judith
