Oread

Peak District Gritstone

A quick weekend trip to the UK for some gritstone climbing with my old climbing club the Oread who were having a joint meet with the Gloucester Mountaineering Club at the Oread hut in the Peak district.

Friday evening was spent on Birchen Edge before a good meal at the “Robin Hood” pub just below the edge and onto Stanage Edge for the Saturday before returning to Birchen Edge for Sunday.

Around Rhydd Ddu (13/10/08)

October 22, 2008 Filed in: Hiking | North Wales

Another day staying in the Oread hut and this time a shorter route around the local area, originally I’d thought about Moel Elio and a return on the train but the times didn’t really work although this was still an option as we left but it meant a fairly lengthy walk out along the valley and the route was going to be a bit vague. In the end it made sense to cut back across to Rhydd Ddu by a shorter route.

Another fairly clear day and some great views around the area, this is looking at Mynydd Mawr where I’d been on a recent trip in rather worse weather.
