TRIP INFORMATION

Wasdale Weekend
19th - 21st April 2002
Organiser: Helen Clayton


It's been a while since many of us ventured into Wasdale so it's time to rectify matters! Helen is organising a camping weekend at the National Trust campsite (the one by the lake), and this should give all of us the chance to reacquaint ourselves with the likes of Scafell Pike, Kirk Fell, Pillar etc...

There's also the lure of the famous Wasdale Head Inn for evening pintage, scene of many a famous Roses encounter with York University Mountaineers involving 16 hastily downed pints of best bitter...

Come along now... everyone's welcome!

If you fancy coming along then you can just turn up, but if you want to make sure we know you're coming and to ensure there's space for your tent then just email us.

The Venue
Campsite: National Trust Campsite, Grid Ref: NY183075
Directions: From the M6 J36 take the A590 west to Greenodd. Then take the A5092 to pick up the A595 near Broughton-in-Furness. If your car doesn't mind steep roads head north at Duddon Bridge to Ulpha and over Ulpha Fell to Eskdale and then on to Nether Wasdale, otherwise head round the coast to pick up roads to Nether Wasdale. From Nether Wasdale head northeast up the side of Wastwater towards Wasdale Head, but before you reach the village there'll be a right turn to Brackenclose and the NT Campsite.
