Seven Oreads plus a couple of friends gathered at Whatstandwell on 20 Jan – a fabulous crisp, clear winter’s morning – for a circuit around Crich. We passed below Chasecliff crag – bigger and more impressive than I remembered – before leaving the woods to enjoy fine views all round as we made our way […]

The Oreads have been busy this month getting up to all sorts (Well except for Ice climbing because believe it of not it hasn’t been cold enough!). Take a look below at just a few moments from this months activities. People have been walking in Scotland, Climbing indoors and Mike even went paddling!
