We’ve booked the Don Whillans hut in a magical location at the bottom of the crag.  It sleeps 12 people in 2 bunk rooms.  There is plenty of Trad climbing and Bouldering on the finest gritstone on our doorstep at both the Roaches and Hen Cloud.  The Trad is mainly single pitch, but there are some two pitch climbs.

  1. Please put me down as a probable. I won’t know until June if I can definitely come. Normally I’d camp, happy to contribute to the hut.

  2. The local campsite we sometimes use as well as the hut is fully booked, so all the members will be staying in the Hut. It sleeps 12 so we need a few more to make it a good deal and more fun!!

  3. I currently have authorisation for this trip so I’m in! I would prefer to camp but if this is not an option then I am happy to to stay in the hut.

  4. With the number of people we’ve got signed up now the hut costs will be relatively low. I’ll work these out after the weekend.

    For bedding, only mattresses are provided, so please whatever else you need.

    On meals, I’m figuring everyone sorts out their own breakfast and lunches. For main meals, I was thinking we’d eat at the hut every evening, but this would mean people volunteering to organise a meal. In the same breath, if people would like to eat out, we could do that (there’s enough of us to do both too). Please could everyone let me know what they’d prefer and if you’re happy to cook a meal at the hut (via the whatsapp chat or private message to me please – as I don’t check this page regularly). (I’m happy to cook one evening.)

    If you’re in any doubt over what’s provided in the hut, check out the BMC website https://www.thebmc.co.uk/don-whillans-memorial-hut
