Good turn out at Noggarth.
Yep, excellent turn out! 17 members and prospective members! 😉
Brilliant night out!
FMC Evening Climbing
Noggarth
Tuesday evening
This week's meet is to the slabby pleasures of Noggarth over near Barrowford, in the shadow of Pendle Hill. Lots of stuff to do from V. Diffs up to E1. And now also lots of bolts! The weather looks to be a bit showery but Tuesday does seem to be the better evening, rather than Weds or Thurs. All welcome as usual!
I hope to be there
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I also hope to be there! We may have to re-think the apres boozer as it does appear Bankers Draft is closed on a Tuesday night. Suggest The Old Bridge Inn, Barrowford.
Dan Ellis?
I'll be there. The Old Bridge Inn is OK - tried it with Nickers the other week. The White Bear, opp The Banker's Draft, also had decent beer when was there with Matt the week after.
I'll be there
FMC Evening Climbing tonight!
Noggarth.
Sporting his new Barnet, the meet Co-ordinator says, could be chilly!
Raspberry beret - you closet Prince fan you 🤣🤣
Cragging in Keswick 🤣🤣
Looks like a beer front has come in!😂
I'd stay where you are Nob, the town will be full of chisellers wearing RAB jackets tarping on!😉
Sorry, that was meant to say "rarping"!
Camping in Mull
We did get a route done. The MIGHTY Quayfoot Buttress !!! Made it harder by being useless and doing the 1st pitch of The Crypt by mistake - wet n dirty 🙄
Cadshaw evening meet was tonight. Great turnout. Has Cadshaw ever seen this many climbers at one time? NB: they're not all ours.
Great turnout! 12 members. The other lot were from Preston MC. A clash of meets!😉
FMC Evening Climbing
Cadshaw Castle Rocks
Thursday night!
This week's climbing venue is specifically aimed at members who want to get some practice in placing gear and leading. It is an ideal beginners crag with lots of low grade trad routes. All are welcome as usual.
Midges are horrendous
unfortunately at college tomorrow evening
Weather forecast is blue sky and 15mph breeze, midges shouldn’t be too bad.
I’m aiming to be there.
Me too. What time are you all going down and is there someone to climb with?
Great. I can push my (non) grade
Will try and make it down after work 👍🏻
Fraid canny make it folks... Scotlanding.... Midges hold nae fear for a Scotsman....
I'm planning on going. Probably from Warton . Happy to go early and pick / up lift share en route.
I’ll be there.
Think we're both hoping to come, however it'll be at least 6.30pm before we get there.
I don’t finish work until 7:30😕
Great turnout last night at Cadshaw! 12 members, who all also went to the pub!! And yes, there were midges!😉
Well I did say it was 42 years since I last went to Cadshaw and here is the evidence. Even a picture of me on Pagan Wall to compare style and dress sense!

FMC Evening Climbing tonight is on!
Cadshaw!
Meet Co-ordinator says "grand as a bag of carrots"!
Is that a Camden Carrot??
It’s a chillum!
Half man, half rabbit....? (Well, it's not a biscuit....)
Happy memories of after school evenings there with Dave Sharples leading the harder stuff whilst Andy and I recover from having been in the washing machine that was the back of Dave Earle's van......
I think I know where you are coming from ...
Wish i had a mallet - I'd whack the end

Verdant!😂
Like a jungle
I’ll bring the chain saw next time!
Missed out on Anglezarke evening meet as we were climbing in the day at Armathwaite, chosen by Wriggers for it's rain shadow position and shelter from the winds that were prevalent in The Lakes. I had been there only once, with Robin Andrews, 39 years ago, and had forgotten what a delightful place it is. Not another climber, and only a few dog walkers in the whole of the Eden Valley it seemed. The apres pub is right there where you park and is a good 'un.
It be nice b'ain't it I too went only once aeons ago Must go again
I remember going on an FMC meet some decades ago. The river was in spate and we found a rope swing someone had set up over it. We were very lucky that nobody drowned
Used to go a lot when I was living in Penrith.Great place. The Mighty Carlisle lads of the 70s, Whillance, Botterill, Lamb. Armstrong etc, trained with head torches on the Sandy Bay overhangs in the Winter. Not so many indoor walls in those days.
**EVENING CLIMBING & WALKING - WEDNESDAY 11th MAY**
In Martin Dale's absence, this week's evening climbing meet is at Anglezarke. Best parking is at the viewpoint. We are also running an evening walk at the same venue, lead by John Wiseman. All welcome on either meet. Weather looks ok. Car shares will be possible, please post below or on Whatsapp. Apres at the Red Lion, Wheelton.
Weather doesn’t look good! Or am I looking at the wrong one 😉😂
Nice photo
I will hopefully be going.
What's that lush vegetation growing from above John's head?😂
I’ll be going if weather ok.
Although 70% chance of rain!
Fun times on Kalymnos!
Lucky you - I think Chris is over there just now … and have you met Brenda from Liverpool who lives there …
Troy. Decent turnout including one or two returning to the fold, thus I got to climb for the first time in too many years with Paul Reid. 😀
Yep, good turnout considering the weather earlier in the day!😉
FMC Evening Climbing tonight!
Troy Quarry
Meet Co-ordinator says "It'll be reet"!
Praise Be! Legumes have returned!
Meet Syllabus for the coming year 2022-2023 is now on the website.
