DIY Summer Camp 2009

 

GRANTHAM DIY.WI - 1ST SUMMER CAMP

6/7 JUNE 2009

EDALE, PENNINE WAY, PEAK DISTRICT

 

Six members, including our President Debbie Young, ventured into the unknown last weekend, despite torrential rain!

Along with Debs, her fellow DIY'ers were; Ruth Dunston, Emma Bannister, Paula Yeomans-Hill, Georgia Roberts & Jayne Barnaby. The trip was arranged after our very first informal meeting, back in January.

 

The group set off early on Saturday morning, in heavy rainfall with a heavily packed card and made the two hour journey to Edale.

 

On arrival, battling against rain wind and each other, they pitched their two tents and enjoyed a picnic lunch.  Wrapping up warm  five set off for a hike up the Edale waterfall. The rain eventually stopped early afternoon, allowing the intrepid adventurers to enjoy the spectacular scenery.

After a two hour hike, they stopped at the local pub for a well earned pint! Followed by a meal out later that evening!

All spent an enjoyable dry night, with lots of fun and laughter

before retiring to their sleeping bags for a well earned rest.
Sunday morning, after an early rise, Emma cooked a smashing breakfast for the rest of the clan. Then came the packing up of camp and heading off for lunch in Bakewell.
It was a very enjoyable weekend, despite the rotten weather!
