Preston Mountaineering Club

Weekend meet programme 2010

Participants are advised to contact Laura Pringle (Meets Secretary) on 01257 275984 to confirm details of meet rendezvous arrangements. She has the details of the Meet Coordinators. Departure from the rendezvous is usually 09:30 prompt for day meets. Those intending to arrive for one day only of a weekend meet should also contact the Meet Coordinator. The huts do not make good rendezvous points for day visitors, as many hut owners are sensitive about this type of 'drop-in' usage.

Weekend meets dates are given here for the Saturday and Sunday - take care when booking hostel places etc
