Rightio, after last years failed attempt (whose idea was it to go in
November anyway?), I'm determined that this year we will get a camping
meet so -

AFPeak District

Date: 3-5 July 1998
Base: Fieldhead Campsite, Adj. Nat.Park Visitor Centre, Edale, North
Derbyshire.
Getting There: Road-take the Edale Road from the A625 Castleton, turn
right at the Railway station into the village, campsite 300yrds on the
right. Rail -trains avaliable to Edale from Sheffield.

Then What?: Whatever you like, those arriving on the Friday evening
will, I'm sure, retire to the Ramblers Inn which I am told is very
good. On the Saturday morning, weather permitting, a walk up either Mam
Tor or for the more probably Kinder Scout. There are some other
flatter walks as well for those who prefer more gentel exercise and
don't need to work up an appitite! If the weather fails us
or if people are too hung over to cope with thinning air <g> there are
plenty of places to go round about including Chatsworth house, the
Caverns in Castleton (if you're feeling Trollish or Dwarfish) and
Ladybower reservoir. Or indeed, stay in the pub all day. In the
evening, a meal at the Ramblers (they cater for vegetarians) and
probably a bit of drinking as well. Sunday I've left open for those who
have a long way to travel, for those who don't possibly another walk or
visit if we walk the day before.

Of course, you don't have to stay overnight if you don't want to, just
join us for either the meal on Saturday night or the walks in the day.

Cost: Fieldhead Campsite/night -3.20ukp/person 1.10ukp/car
Tel 01433 670386

Plus of course beer and food money.

What to bring: A tent or similar, sleeping bag and mat. Stout walking
boots, waterproofs (just in case) and some warm clothing, thermos of
something hot. Cooking stoves are optional if you have them. As are
things to cook in them, although if you don't bring a stove then I'm
sure you will want to bring something to eat or drink to warm up.
Chocolate (esp. KMC) and furry things as well as the usual afp/m-d
paraphinalia, psions, mobile phones, cccb's etc.

Interested? Drop me a line with AFPeak in the header and dig out those
boots!
