Over the summer season, mid-April to mid-September, the FMC arranges evening climbing meets at local crags in Lancashire, Yorkshire and the South Lakes. Meets are a mixture of Trad, Sport & Bouldering meets.
The day of the week varies (Tues, Wed, Thurs) throughout the season to allow people with various commitments to attend and to avoid any clashes with the evening walking meets.
The meets are weather dependent and may change at short notice. Members are encouraged to join our WhatsApp group to follow updates in the days/hours before the planned meet. Contact Martin Dale or Steve Clark to join the group.
