Coniston, Old Man and other mountains

The Old Man of Coniston is an iconic peak and one that should be done!

The outline plan is:

• Car share where possible and meet in the The Black Bull Inn on the Friday evening
• Saturday: The Old Man of Coniston and other mountains
• Saturday evening: Someone will make a delicious homecooked meal, which will cater to most dietary requirements. Chief Bottlewasher Steve will wash up assisted by others
• Sunday: a shorter walk followed by lunch back at the hut. Everybody joins in cleaning the bunkhouse and then we go home

The cost for the weekend is £105.18 comprising a RSVP fee of £25 through Meet up (plus PayPal fee of £2.18) plus £80 one month before the event. This will cover:

• Shared accommodation in a bunkhouse so you need to bring a sleeping bag and pillow
• 2 breakfasts of porridge, berries and honey
• Evening meal
• Contribution to group costs such as Meetup fees, insurance, group box with tea, coffee and other stuff, equipment, recces, first aid training etc.

The weekend will be led by Phil who is a fully qualified and experienced Mountain Leader who runs the weekends/group to Outdoor Industry standards. Phil is also a qualified Outdoor First Aider. Phil is not paid a wage to do this and this is a 'not for profit' group.

When we started this we wanted it to be as inclusive as possible and that means keeping costs as low as possible. Hence why we stay in a bunkhouse and have shared meals.

If you have any questions then please drop Phil a message and ask.
