After several years exploring the northern Lakes from Stu’s Keswick flat (thanks Stu!) this year we’re based in the Duddon valley, an idyllic backwater away from the crowds. I’ve booked bunks for us at High Moss Cottage (grid ref SD237966, a modern climbing hut with good facilities and with some great climbing within walking distance. Twenty minutes away is Wallowbarrow, of which Rockfax says: ‘sits in a magnificent position…friendly grades…rock quality and protection are good’. Just over an hour away is Dow Crag, one of the classic Lakes big cliffs; the FRCC guidebook says: ‘first class climbing…right across the grading spectrum…a superb setting’. There are also lots of other crags within a short drive.
We’ll be sharing the cooking tasks and chores in the hut. I’ve booked six bunks; if it looks like there are going to be more of us I’ll see what I can arrange with the hut warden and I’ll probably need a deposit.

I’m in for this one, can’t miss a Lakes trip!
As I can’t now come on the North Wales trip, I’ll have to come on this one instead 🙂
Can I come along from the 24th to the 28th?
I’ll come along please :). Hope for some eclectic music on the drive up!
I’d like to attend.
Love to come please
I’d like to come on this one
I’m in for this – need to figure a few things out in terms of which days I can make. Not sure yet if I’ll be staying in the hut or not.
Hi Hannah, I can now confirm that I’m going to come for the whole trip, and as I’ll have moved to Kendal by that point, I’ll need a bunk, please. 🙂
Hi Hannah, could you please add me to the list for this trip too. Not sure which days yet but can sort that out later, along with possible lift shares. Thanks 😀
Sorry Hannah – for family reasons I won’t now be able to come to this trip. Sorry. Let me know if there are costs that need to be covered.
No worries, Boyd. We will miss you, though!
Looks like we have 11 people up for this trip.
I’m planning to drive up on Wednesday morning with Stu, Matt, and Caron.
If anybody else is interested in car sharing, please sort it between yourselves. And if anyone is thinking about making a long weekend out of it, there may be a chance to car share with Jamie and Darren, who are coming Thursday to Monday.
Payment will be sorted once we are on the trip – from memory it’s 11 or 12 quid a night.
I’ll be setting up a WhatsApp group nearer the time.
