28-30 Aug	Bank Holiday - Duddon Valley, Lakes The Duddon is decidedly off the beaten track. On the other hand the valley is very scenic and quite well positioned, so this trip is something of a rare treat. Climbing: the nearby Wallowbarrow crag is about 15 mins from the road and has some good quality routes in the low grades. There are several other minor crags in the valley. Further afield, Dow Crag on Coniston is reachable on foot and the crags of Eskdale are a short drive away. Hill walking: the campsite is at the foot of the Coniston group, on its less well-known West side. The Scafell - Bowfell - Crinkle Crags group further North provide plenty more options. We'll be staying at Turner Hall Farm campsite, about half a mile north of the village of Seathwaite - grid ref 233964 on OS sheet 96. The campsite is best reached by a remote back-road that leaves the A595 at Duddon Bridge 12 km to the South and passes up through Dunnerdale. There is a pub about 10 minutes walk from the campsite but not a whole lot else. Don't rely on getting to a shop - there probably isn't one within several miles. Cooking in the campsite will make a nice change from the pub.	Camping	Peter Shone
11-12 Sep	Edale Our next Peak District trip will take us to another great venue there. Climbers will find a few less busy crags on Kinder Scout and the more popular grit venues within driving distance. Edale is probably one of the best spots to go walking in the Peaks with the aforementioned Kinder Scout and several ridge and horseshoe walks close by.	Camping	Michael Hopert
25-26 Sep	Baggy Point Baggy Point is a beautiful part of the north Devon coastline, and is well known for it’s sandstone climbing opportunities. There is also a good coastal path worth considering, and Exmoor National Park is within easy reach.	Camping	Chris Townsend
